The second season of USA Network's Shooter was cut short due to an off-set injury sustained by Ryan Phillipe who plays the lead character Bob Lee Swagger. Instead of ten episodes, the eight episode will serve as the finale. The first season of Shooter focused on Bob Lee as he tried to exonerate himself after being framed for the assassinations of the Ukrainian President. This season, Swagger and his team were hunted by Solotov who ended up murdering most of them. The final scenes of the 8th episode including Solotov kidnapping an injured Bob Lee while Julie, Mary and Isaac try to escape the church which Solotov placed a bomb in. Senator Hayes was also revealed as the head of Atlas. In all honesty, this season of Shooter has been very underwhelming. I thought the first season was awesome and I expected the second season to be better, but it wasn't.

The first episode was good and I was hoping it would get more intense, but the entire season ended up being confusing and boring. The 8th episode was actually one of the best episodes this season, after episode one, and it served as a good cliffhanger. We're all wondering what Solotov is going to do with Bob Lee and if Mary, Isaac and Julie will survive, but are we really going to be able to sit through another Solotov story line? I don't think he's a good enough villain and his reasons for hunting down Bob Lee and his group don't really make sense to me. I'm still trying to understand the whole season because it was just confusing. I don't even know where to place Agent Memphis in this narrative. I loved the fact that they focused more on Julie and Bob Lee's marriage and how she was struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. She had a more essential role which helped in the growth and development of her character. I wish this season was as good or better than the last and I really hope it gets renewed by USA Network.
