That is normal for most movies or series

I would suggest that the series has little or no consistency with the Reacher books, other than the lead character is fairly large.

Then again, if you've only read the recent Reacher books, written by Jim Grant's brother ... the original "Reacher" is no more.

I don't think Reacher had sex for over 20 years, until Andrew took over the writing.

Guess I'm the only one bothered by his anti-police rhetoric

It was a good one

Agree

Was just too unrealistic for me.
Wish he’d kept his political views to himself

That is Reachers charm as a character thru all the books

Paulie and Reacher fight should be epic.

There was a time when I bought the newest Reacher book as soon as it was released. The first three or four books were pretty good, but then they all became all the same. Why is it that every town Reacher visits (with only his toothbrush and the clothes on his back) has a secret involving a murder? And how come there is always a group of bullies that ache to be beaten up by Reacher, and they always fight him one loser at a time; never as a group? And of course one or more of them get a broken bone of some sort. Unfortunately the TV series is pretty much the same. I'll watch the first episode this afternoon, and I hope I'm pleasantly surprised.

Just finished the last episode now that was a fight for the ages.

I would comment more but might spoil it for others

Don't rush. It's as disappointing as the last 5-6 ... or whenever Andrew Grant took over the writing.
