Our own Reacher season 3 review gave it four stars, saying it "still rules". Our reviewer wrote: "The signature action gets delivered in hefty doses (aided this time by an imposing foe) and the story grips with both of Reacher's shovel-sized hands in the best season yet."
Other reviewers were also positive with Collider's Nate Richards giving it 7/10 and writing: "Even though this new season of Reacher feels more like a traditional action-crime show, it's still one of the better ones of its ilk." Meanwhile, The Telegraph's Michael Hogan ranked it 4/5, calling it "ultraviolent and unrepentantly macho but laced with enough wit to keep it the right side of silly."
IGN meanwhile gave it 8/10, praising a new introduction. Their reviewer Luke Reilly wrote: "Reacher’s new season 3 buddy Susan Duffy makes a firm case as the strongest supporting character in the series to date."
