REVIEW: Reacher – Season 2, Episode 7, “The Man Goes Through”
“The Man Goes Through” is a great example of how intricately the second season of Reacher has been plotted. This episode is a setup for the finale, putting all the characters in place for the big showdown, but it doesn’t feel like it’s going through the motions. It’s highly entertaining a...
