As entertaining as the second series was, it can’t be denied there was a dip in quality.

There was some legitimate concern that season 2 would suffer for their absence, which was partly true.

Alan Ritchson will make a guest appearance as Reacher on the forthcomingNeagleyspinoff.

This was in contrast to the villains, who barely registered.

This complaint could be leveled at the source material since Child rarely fleshes his antagonists out in great detail.

While not a total villain, Anthony Michael Hall’s Beck was the most well-developed too.

Based on Lee Child’s novel ‘Persuader,’ Season 3 finds Reacher tangled up in a DEA investigation of an import business owned by Zachary Beck. As is often the case, Reacher has a personal stake in the investigation, when he realizes someone he investigated years ago for a crime during his time in the Army has resurfaced in connection to Beck’s operation. To unravel what’s happening in Beck’s business, the DEA collaborates with Reacher and attempts to send him in undercover to help rescue another undercover DEA informant and put a stop to Beck’s business practices.
