If you are fan of the Reacher novel series by Lee Child and were disappointed by the Tom Cruise films, this series is the adaption you've been waiting for. For those who don't know the series Jack (no middle name) Reacher is a drifter who was formerly military police. He doesn't have a home, or even luggage, and he drifts from town to town largely living on his pension check that he has sent to Western Union. Reacher is 6' 5" 250, powerful and a skilled fighter. In his travels "trouble finds him" and he ends up using his military training to resolve that trouble. His stature is very much a part of the character and part of the reason that a Tom Cruise wasn't right for the role. Alan Ritchson is a much better match both in age and size.
The series based upon the first novel, The Killing Floor. Reacher goes to Margrave Georgia on a whim because he heard that a jazz musician died there. He stops at a diner which is suddenly surrounded by police. They arrest him for murder. The action picks up from there and is very true to the book.
I highly recommend the Prime series (and more so the books). Anyone else watching it?
