ceus1001 Review of Pie

Reacher: Pie (2022) Season 1, Episode 8

Felt different than rest of season

[6/10 · 13 February 2022]

I watched this episode while tired, so I might have been in a different headspace, but I still wanted to write this review. This episode felt significantly different than the rest of the series. The first eight episodes kept a nice pace with action, but left some room for the plot and characters to flesh out and built thrill. The last episode, pie, felt rushed and did not have much build up. The fight between Reacher and the Klinder boy did not feel authentic, I felt like the director or writers felt like they needed some big fight ending which was forced. The power and skill level between the protagonist and anatomist did not lend itself to a even-seeming fight; no it would be better off building through Reacher recon skills and taking him out quickly like the badass he is throughout the series.

I would like to hear if others felt similar.

Thanks.
