Reacher Season 3 Is Finished: Is It Better Than the Previous Two Chapters? (Spoiler, Yes)
The creators of the new season have come up with the perfect formula for a gripping action thriller.
On March 27, the third season of Reacher ended, in which Alan Ritchson once again beat up mercenaries, shot criminals and tried to punish crime bosses.
Compared to the rather modest first season and the second season, which was more like a big flashback, the third season turned out to be perfectly balanced.
What Was Season 3 About?
Reacher ends up in a small town where he rushes to save a boy, Richard, who is about to be kidnapped by mercenaries. Reacher accidentally shoots a policeman, and so there is only one way out – to take the boy to the house of Zachary Beck – his insanely rich father.
However, the attack, as well as the rescue, was set up to get Reacher into the service of the arms dealers and to get to their leader – Quinn.
Reacher's goal, as always, is revenge, because Quinn abused his partner while he was still in the service. But while tracking down a crime boss, Jack exposed himself and FBI agents found him. They had to work together because they had one goal – to catch the boss involved in arms trafficking.
Reacher Season 3 Will Have You Hooked From the Very First Minute
The season pleases with constant suspense. Not only the expectation that Reacher will be exposed at any moment and will have to kill with his bare hands, but also the worry about the development of the mission and the fate of the Beck family.
Reacher's now permanent assistant Neagley, who fits perfectly into every showdown, especially when she acts according to the rules of her former boss: she eats cereal while the enemy bleeds before her eyes.
Season 3 Turned Out to Be the Best of Them All
Compared to other seasons, this one is more like the first. Reacher tries to untangle a tangle of mercenaries and suppliers in the same way, to stay out of trouble and not get caught.
But if he acted openly in the first one, he became a gray cardinal in the third one. Just as bold and desperate, but lying with a blank face and quietly eliminating enemies.
Secrets, traps, shootouts, retaliation, revenge, and mountains of muscle are the surefire ingredients of a good Reacher season. The plot of the third chapter was laconic and contained all the best stuff, so there was no time to get bored and raise many questions.
