Reacher Season 3
Overview
Reacher's undercover this time, and it's not really his style — too much lying, not enough punching. At first, anyway. A chance encounter in Maine pulls him into a DEA operation: pose as muscle for Zachary Beck, a wealthy rug importer whose business is clearly a front for something uglier, and find the informant who disappeared inside his operation. To get through the door, Reacher has to "rescue" Beck's twitchy son Richard from a staged kidnapping, which earns him a room in the big coastal house and one immediate problem — Paulie, Beck's real bodyguard, a mountain of a man played by Dutch bodybuilder Olivier Richters and possibly the first person in three seasons who makes Reacher look normal-sized. Their slow-burn rivalry is the season in miniature. The job also digs up a ghost: Francis Xavier Quinn, a corrupt ex-military intelligence officer Reacher was sure he'd finished years ago, is alive and pulling the strings. Based on Lee Child's novel Persuader, it's the most contained season yet — one house, one operation, one very personal score — and Alan Ritchson even gets to act scared once or twice. Neagley shows up too, because of course she does.
