Amazon’s adaptation inherited this issue, with the first two series lacking antagonists who posed any real threat.
Reacherseason 3 adapts Child’sPersuader, and the latest series aims to fix the villain issue.
Season 3’s first episode “Persuader” explains how Quinn survived his seemingly unsurvivable fate.
Reacher shot him with a smaller caliber bullet, which ended up lodging in Quinn’s skull.
He also survived the fall from the cliff, with the cold water he fell into giving him hypothermia.
Quinn was eventually found washed up on a beach and went through six months of rehabilitation before disappearing again.

One elementReachermakes unclear is whether Quinn remembers what happened to him.
During his treatment, he claimed to have no memory, though doctors believe he was faking his amnesia.
Given how quickly he slipped back into his criminal ways, they were correct.

That said, Quinn may forget the days leading up to his gunshot wound.
It’s likely Quinn also kidnapped Duffy’s informant Theresa, and is keeping her alive for unknown reasons.
For now, Paulie remainsReacher’sbiggest threat - in more ways than one.
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.
