The finale of Reacher's third season starts with a bloody gun battle, resulting in the deaths of an ATF Special Response Team and numerous henchmen. Quinn, seeking to eliminate his unreliable associate Zachary Beck, orchestrates a setup where Beck is framed for the ambush. The aftermath of this violence goes largely unexamined by the remaining characters, leaving viewers feeling dissatisfied. Additionally, the show attempts to elevate the stakes by connecting the story to potential terror attacks, but this coincides poorly with current real-world events, leaving the narrative feeling disconnected and disappointing.
The finale of Reacher's third season kicks off with a massive gun battle resulting in the deaths of an ATF Special Response Team and several henchmen, leaving only a few survivors including Reacher.
Quinn's strategy of betrayal involving his unwitting employee Zachary Beck aims to create a scenario where Beck is blamed for the ambush, causing the deaths to serve as a clean getaway for Quinn.
The aftermath of the violence is felt intensely, but the reactions of characters Duffy and Villanueva to the deaths of their fellow Federal agents go unexamined, leaving a sense of disappointment regarding the show's handling of serious themes.
The season attempts to raise stakes by implying a major terror plot, coinciding with unfortunate real-world parallels that have emerged, reflecting a disconnect between on-screen fiction and off-screen reality.
