I love the fact that not only does Richardson come very close to Jack's size in the books, but also he managed to capture the minimalist, wandering Ronin style of Reacher from the books. This was a genuinely good stab at an adaptation and I'm seriously looking forward to series two.

I have read all of the Jack Reacher books and they are great reads. Given the number of stories, none were really repetitive. This is testimony to Lee Childs, the author. The character Reacher is a well decorated former military police who left his job. He uses his 6'5" frame to intimidate others so Tom Cruise was well miscasted. He doesn't believe in material things so he travels to see the country carrying only his toothbrush. He only uses cash. He only wears used clothing from thrift stores, and throws them away after a couple of days. He doesn't wear a watch but has this uncanny ability to always the exact time. Of course, his main strength is his experience with investigations. I think you will enjoy this series very much. Keep up the good work.

On top of that, i feel like it's a bit of a fun way to mock how poorly Tom Cruise was casted as Jack Reacher in the movie. He played the part EXCELLENT, but he had ZERO physical similarities of Jack Reacher! Keep up the awesome reactions. When you hit 10K subscribers, i can say i remember when you had under 1K. 🎉🎉🎉

New subscriber here, looking forward to reexperience Reacher with you! Some thoughts: - You might remember Finlay from the show "iZombie" where he played Clive who is also a detective. (*Nevermind, just finished watching the outro :,D ) - ~12:10 you mentioned Daredevil, did you watch the Punisher series as well? If not I highly recommend it! - clarification, at 20:10 you were wondering about his backstory, when Roscoe listed all his achievements she mentioned him being an "MP" wich stands for Military Police. They are trained to do Police work *within* military branches, so they need to be specially trained and highly skilled, since they are not dealing with petty thiefs but military trained criminals. I had a blast watching this series, hope you enjoy it at least as much. Cheers!

You are correct, in the books Jack Reacher is 6'5" and massive. The fans were extremely disapointed with the casting of tiny little Tom Cruise for the movies. This series is a fantastic and failthful adaptation of the first book. When they say cop, they are referring to him being an MP (Military Police). He led his own group of hand-picked MP's that were called the Special Investigators. We should meet and learn a lot more about the rest of them in Season 2. The book season 2 is based on involves all of them in one way or another.

Jack Reacher is the author's self-insert Mary Sue. Lee Child freely admits that the genesis of the character, the whole reason he exists, is that Child got a little spooked walking along the street one day and thought, "I wonder what it would feel like to never be afraid of anything." That's Reacher: a gigantic hulking badass who knows he'll win every fight he's in. That's why they're repeatedly making a big deal of his size and imposing presence. Jack Reacher's #1 defining character trait is "intimidating."

When she started listing his record you said you didn't know what any of those medals meant. So to expand on that, Reacher was a US Army Officer (Major) in the Military Police (MP) with a Defense Superior Service Medal, Legion of Merit Soldiers Medal, Army Commendation Medal (all awarded for meritorious and heroic service), Bronze Star (heroic achievement), Silver Star (even higher heroic service) and a Purple Heart (wounded in a combat zone). In other words, that would make Reacher one of the most highly decorated soldiers during his service time.
