In all honesty, the two film versions of Jack Reacher novels are pretty good. Tom Cruise gets the personality of the character down perfectly. He portrays the silent menace and just-below-the-surface violence Reacher radiates . He just cannot fit the bill physically. Reacher is a hulk of a man, Cruise is like 5’7”.
Amazon Prime channel has released a new Reacher series. I caught episode one yesterday morning. Yes. That is Reacher on film. The series covers book one, The Killing Floor, one of my least favorites, but so it goes. I am finding the show entertaining. So far.
I suppose it is important to someone in the government to point out I am not compensated in any way to tell you I like this show. Quite the contrary, I am paying to watch it.

Reacher has long been a favorite of mine. But another favorite is C.J. Box character Joe Picket. Was a recommendation from a librarian. Joe Pickett has just made into a series like Reacher and is suppose to be very good.
I’ll check it out
The reviews are only so so about Reacher, but at least he fits the profile now, lol. I'm three in and staying. I don't know if it will be as good as Bosch, who you should read if you have not. Agree with Joe Pickett. Did not know he was made into a series but the other series of books CJ Box write (about a gal) has been turned into something called Montana Skies.
I'm watching Reacher and thrilled with it.
Interesting is that my wife is also.
I binged Reacher on Friday. I enjoyed it better than the Tom Cruise movies.
