Has anyone watched this yet on Amazon Prime? Really good. The actor playing Jack Reacher played Aquaman on Smallville.

When I first saw the actor I half expected an Austrian accent and for the villain to be called Mendoza.
Yes, its bingeable, the books sell like hotcakes because its action from cover to cover without taxing the braincells too much (even if that means the lead has too much plot amour), my airport novel of choice as they make 2-3 hour flights just sail by. Keeping the show as close to the source material as possible translates very well and I'm excited about the other books being adapted for future seasons.

I'm really enjoying it while also finding myself thinking "this isn't very good is it?" a lot of the time.

But with cancel happy Amazon that could be it.

I've always had a fascination with those pulp action books, especially The Executioner/Mack Bolan books. They're the action equivalent of those romance novels that always get made fun of.

Even if that's the case, it thankfully won't end on a premature cliffhanger due to the seasons likely just covering an entire book (S1 covering Killing Floor and S2 probably doing another book).

I've watched a couple episodes. The character is too perfect. Nothing he does or says is wrong.

It's astonishing that Reacher ever solved a case what with the way he kills everyone with information that might help bring it to a resolution.
An awful lot of thugs also seem to have zero hesitation about throwing hands with this 6'5, 250 lb, ex-military guy.
