Reacher Season 3's Main Villain, Xavier Quinn, Explained
The title character in Reacher season three has called the main antagonist, Xavier Quinn, "the single worst person I've ever known." The Lee Child Jack Reacher novels frequently suffer from the author's lack of interest in creating villains who seem like real threats.
