I appreciate the main recasting of the primary character.
Reacher is (at long last) no longer a dwarf that no one would fear walking down the highway. It is rewarding to witness the rebranding of one of my favorite novelists.
In this series our hero is finally accurately portrayed with sparkle and gruffness that is downplayed just enough to make Reacher likable in spite of himself.
Unfortunately, the support casting is lackluster...either that or they're Canadian... I definitely can see that the budget would require production going north of the border but the production values are the prime victims of their savings. It's a darned shame really.
The writers have obviously worked diligently at reflecting Lee Child's "Bad Luck and Trouble" and I cannot wait for a majority of Mr. Child's series to come to the screen and to determine how accurately his words reflect what I see in my head.
