Reacher Season 3

8 episodes

📼 Where We Left Off

A kidnapping rescue turns into an undercover job: Reacher talks his way into the household of rug importer and criminal Zachary Beck, hunting an arms dealer from his past named Xavier Quinn. Susan Duffy is his handler on the inside, Richard Beck is the kid he ends up protecting, and Paulie is the giant who finally makes Reacher look small. It ends the way Reacher seasons end: the operation comes down, the people who deserved it get what is coming, and he walks away. The recap below gets you caught up before Season 4.

✂️ Can You Skip Anything?

All killer, no filler. Eight episodes, every one counts. The undercover setup takes episodes 1 to 3, the middle run winds up the tension, and episode 7, L.A. Story, is where it all breaks open.
