Reacher - New York's Finest

After the only lead they had goes up in flames, literally, Reacher (Alan Ritchson) and his old friends start again. With only two more episodes in the season “New York’s Finest” fills in several blanks to Reacher’s investigation answering questions about the 650 stolen missiles and laying the foundation for the final two episodes of the season. In terms of the flashbacks, the episode is also notable for Reacher and his team being told to stand down on their heroin investigation which could make local military brass look bad foreshadowing the final piece of that storyline to unfold as well.

Spinning out of the events of Hawkeye, Maya Lopez (Alaqua Cox) gets her own five-episode series with Echo. The opening episode “Chafa” feels a bit oddly cobbled together.

Archer - Into the Cold

Archer wraps up its 14 season run with a three-part series finale promoted as a special bringing back a few familiar faces in a final adventure featuring Katya (Ona Grauer), Slater (Christian Slater), Rip (Patrick Warburton), and Barry (Dave Willis) back in non-refrigerator form, while the world votes to end all private spy agencies. There’s quite a bit to enjoy here including the tease of a different kind of adventures should the show’s creators want to pick up the thread in a few years.

Reacher - Burial

As you might expect with at title like “Burial,” the fifth episode of Reacher‘s Second Season gives us the reunited 110th Special Investigators Unit attending Franz’s (Luke Bilyk) funeral which turns into a shoot-out.

Leo

Leo starts with the same premise of one of my favorite films from one of my favorite years of movies. Joseph Vijay stars as a shop owner who defends his cafe against armed intruders. News of the event, however, brings out even more trouble. First we get the wave of violence from the dead robbers’ friends and family which only draws more attention to the reclusive Parthiban. This brings the attention of a criminal empire who believes this local hero to be a mass murderer known as Leo.
