I have to admit I'm a fan of Lee Childs 'slam bam ty mam' Jack Reacher series of novels and binge-read most since start of covid-19 lockdown because I needed an escape from the boredom of lock-up. A little background about Reacher: He's an EX-MPI major who leaves the service after a disagrement with a superior over an internal murder investigation (if i remember correctly). He roams across Americas cities and towns with only the clothes on his back and a toothebrush; busting heads when its' appropriate while miraculously solving murders and exposing conspiracies. He's like the All-American white bread super hero with t-shirt and jeans.
I'm 3 episodes in of season 1 and it's based upon Killing Floor the first in the series but takes liberties prolong the suspense over 8 episodes instead of 4 at the most and I assume Lee Child was ok with that since he exec-produced all 8... They should observe the BBC's very succesful Vera (now in its 11th season) series - 90 minute productions and every one cut and dried.
In the books Reacher is a no nonsensce big guy and women admire his intelligence, morals. Unfortunately Ritchson as Reacher is as wooden as a 3 day old pizza and has no charisma, rapport with pixie Officer Roscoe Culkin (Willa Fitzgerald) who does a decent turn.
It's entertaing at least and I'll continue the series.
