I usually am never surprised when certain actors appear in a scene. I actually let out a hearty ..Y E S.. when Finley showed up..now that's how you connect Season 1 with Season 2...and saying he would have had him in the 110th was the cherry on the episode...
Damn after everything they’ve been through, Reacher trust and acknowledge Lieutenant finlay. It’s a surprise for me though that I didn’t have any idea who’s the friend O’donnell’s talking about.
Finlay was top notch is season one. I like Neagley, but her chemistry with Reacher is just not as good as the one Finlay has. Him and Reacher are like the 2 faces of the same coin.
Reacher definitely changed Finlay for the better, they just mesh so well together and reacher even saying if he was army he’ll ask him to join the 110th is definitely an honor as Reacher despite quarreling with him at times in the early of season 1 knew that he’s a great detective even with margrave’s corruption and was a good man and shows that he won’t step down, someone that reacher appreciates
Yup. never backed down even in stopping Reacher in his tracks where usually, authorities would think twice before talking down to someone with Reacher's... profile.
The only problem I have with it more so a what if is that he says that after knowing finlay he didn’t know the rest just picked them on instinct and merit would he have done the same for Finlay?
He should. Malcolm Goodwin is great, and so is his character. The events of Margrave changed him, and he’s a very gifted detective, who reacher respects. And he legit has his 20 yr pension from Boston PD, he ideally could join reacher’s team so to speak since he could have the money wired wherever he needs it similar to what reacher does. Would make perfect sense especially considering he’s still grieving the loss of his wife
Not how the books work , most of them are one shot. The only ones really connected a little bit are 61 Hours and Never Go Back if i recall correctly@@gregordrizzlewing7339
When Reacher said they were going to Boston, I was hoping Finley might show sometime. Remembered from season 1 that he said he was going to return to Boston. Good to see him even if it’s just a cameo 👍
Finlay is a refreshing addition in general. The books rarely brought back old characters outside of prequels. Sometimes love interests were mentioned beyond a single book. Neagley was the only real reoccurring character outside the prequels.
This is the one thing i love about the show that the books don't do. They brought back old characters. The books rarely do that with the exception being Neagley, Joe and Garber but obviously mostly only in prequel books.
I was genuinely excited when Finley came back for this appearance. Honestly this entire season so far has kept me more and more intrigued than the last season
The guy who plays Finley reminds me of Sidney Poitier from In the Heat of the Night. The chemistry between him and Reacher is TV gold. I hope they keep bringing him back. He is too valuable a character to get killed off or forgotten about. The actor who plays him is crushing it.
"You killed a lotta people?" "You need my help?" Finlay's a cop, he knows Reacher is technically a criminal, but he offers his help anyway. That's how you know Finlay's a bro.
Killing a lot of people, disposing of their bodies, destroying evidence, obstructing police investigations, battery, assault, criminal trespassing, criminal damage to property etc. Sure we're talking really bad dudes but still. So yeah, Finlay backing Reacher is a big deal.
I loved just how soft hearted and compassionate Finlay was. Reacher is hardened by his army service but Finlay has a heart of gold which he tries so hard, and so unsuccessfully, to hide throughout the series.
Finlay has a better chance of becoming a recurring character in Reacher than Roscoe's .. both Dixon - Reacher and Roscoe-Reacher dynamics were for most part is ok...
A subtle nod to Roscoe. Finlay mentioned that Lavoy “set off bells and whistles at the FBI office”. Remember, “bad guys set off bells and whistles right away”. It is how she knew Reacher was clean.
He woulda surely contacted roscoe after and told her that he saw reacher, she probs woulda been jealous she wasn’t called. I hope the show ends with reacher goin back to roscoe and they settle down together
I loved that he showed up here again, and now that Nealey is getting a spinoff who knows maybe Finley and Roscoe could return again in her series since it wont be following a book. She knows Finley and Roscoe so if they called her for help or she calls them if Reacher is off doing his own thing i would love that.
"And I have a special distaste for people who don't appreciate the sanctity of marriage." It was this single sentence that questioned my heterosexuality.
