This message contains spoilers for episode 6 of season 3 of “Reacher”.
“Reacher” could concern a solitary wandering hero in the United States, but the just vigilante by Alan Ritchson is not completely alone. Season 1 of the extremely popular privileged video series presented us with a close friend of the titular hero: Frances Niagra by Maria Sten.
The former competent soldier joined his former boss towards the end of the first season and became a favorite of instant fans. Then, in season 2, “Reacher” presented a whole team of army badassWith the former 110th special investigative unit to seek again with their leader to find the villain responsible for the conduct of their ex-collections. Neagley was of course part of this crew. In fact, the book on which season 2 was based, “Batt Luck and Disorder”, presented Neagley as a main character, so it was just that she played a central role in the second season. This decision apparently went well with the fans, while Prime Video announced in October 2024 that Neagley would obtain his own derivative series (via Deadline).
Before seeing the friend of Rechern and her compatriot Badass venture alone, we have season 3 of “Reacher”, which offers more Neagley action before the beginnings of her own program. Working as a private establishment in Chicago, the character of Sten is attracted by the last debacle of Reacher after the former military police officer asked him to verify the history of the main villain of the season, Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee). Unfortunately for Neagley, it puts her in the views of Quinn. Fortunately for us, however, this means that we can see the 110th alum making its own carnage in a solo action sequence which augurs very well for its next spin-off series.
Episode 6 of PROWER presents one of Neagley’s best action sequences
The spin-off of Frances Niagley is officially entitled “Neagley”, “Store” Reacher “and another family show only from the Skydance production company, “Cross”, which has become a number one for the privileged video In 2024. The new series will be supervised by the executive producer and showrunner of “Reacher” Nick Santora, who is one of the people mainly responsible for making the series such a success. This means that the new show is already in good hands, especially since the author Lee Child is again on board as an executive producer. But just in case it was not enough to convince you, we have additional proof that “Neagley” will be just as good as “Reacher”, with the last episode of season 3 presenting an intense and engaging action sequence which also shows part of the charisma of Neagyy.
In episode 6, we see Xavier Quinn invading two henchmen towards an office building in Chicago to eliminate the private investigator who fills the illicit relations of Quinn. Unfortunately for these henchmen, Neagley is only the private investigator, and his skills acquired during his stay in the 110th are still as clear. After spotting the henchman in the kitchen, Neagley distracted them with, all things, a refrigerator and a printer, to cross the office and return to his office. There she recovers her pistol and quickly sets her attackers. This sequence in itself is well staged, with a close -up shot that ensures that we know that Neagley has left her gun at his office. His problem solving on the fly also tells us a lot about his ingenigations and his skills in rapid thought, reflecting those of his former leader. But this is the scene that comes after that which really sells the character of Sten as manager of the series.
Episode 6 of the fan proves that Neagley is a main character
After catching one of the henchmen with a stomach bullet, Frances Neagley finds him bleeding in the kitchen and is calmly to make a bowl of cereals while he begs her to call an ambulance. She then uses her disastrous circumstances to provoke the information she needs and, between the bites of her cereals, responds casually to the request of her attackers to call her an ambulance with this classic dad joke, “okay, you are an ambulance.”
It is perhaps not the most original line, but the scene as a whole establishes that Neagley is just as ruthless as the advancing when it must be, and its carelessness in the face of being attacked in its own office and the slow death of a man before his own eyes gives us a sense of intensity of this character. If it was just the well -executed shooting that it was, it would have been enough to convince the opponents that Neagley was the real deal. But with this back and forth supplement, we know for sure that “Neagley” will be just as engaging a show as “merchant”- which is already the best series of TV action – and could possibly exceed his former chief in this regard.
The official line line of the series promises a story very similar to season 2 of “Reacher”, in which Neagley learns that “a beloved friend of her past was killed in a suspect accident”, which made him “to become justice to justice”. I can imagine that this quest for revenge features several scenes in which Neugley reveals her composure side while she eliminates the authors of the death of her friend, perhaps involving a kind of relaxed meal in the appearance of episode 6 of her “merchant”-and frankly, I cannot wait.
Neagley might not need Prower’s help in his spin-off
There is another aspect to the big action scene of Frances Niagley in episode 6. It may be worth pointing Season 1 of “Reacher”, for which the crew was forced to build an entire city from zero in a cornfield Due to the world pandemic. Consequently, while the show was obviously doing quite well, with “Reacher” Season 1 Beating Video Streaming Records PrimeThere is no doubt that it was sometimes small, and even betrayed its nature made with sets that seemed a little too clean. Of course, everything has changed with season 2 and its New York manager, but for me at least, “Reacher” has always kept the obvious feeling of making its first season. Whatever they did to shoot the shootings of the Neagley office, he never had the impression that it was on a sound scene, which is a minor point, but something about the lights of the city of Chicago shone and moving through the windows improved the feeling of excitement of the possibility of seeing the private investigator of Sten tear the city of Windy.
The spin-off of “Neagley” began to film in February 2025, and Alan Ritchson should appear as a guest star. But it might not even be necessary if this last episode of “Rewier” is something to pass. There is no doubt that Ritchson himself is a large part of the reason why “Reacher” has become such a popular series for Amazon’s streaming service. Compared to the former actor of Jack Reacher Tom Cruise, Ritchson is a much better and more precise version of the book of the character, and the fans clearly hung on to his interpretation (and, of course, to his giant muscles).
In this spirit, a large part of the success of “Neagley” will undoubtedly depend on the performance of Maria Sten in the main role. Fortunately, all that we have seen from Sten so far in “Reacher” suggests that she will have no problem in this regard, and his last appearance is out of the shadow of a doubt that his program can be just as engaging as the Mothership series, even if Ritchson does not appear.
