On Amazon Prime. I've read all the Reacher novels, by, Lee Childs. He's a Brit, btw, born, James Dover Grant
I've seen the movie with Tom Cruise as Reacher... in the books Reacher is 6'5" 250 lbs. Tom Cruise is 5'8" on a good day 
This series, on Amazon Prime, is pretty good... at least the actor is over 6 ft tall... I watched at 3 episodes last night ,(I say watched at on purpose- I was playin solitaire too 
)... its not bad, but, in my minds eye, when readin about Reacher, he is older than the actor and not as buff... he's in good shape physically just not buff...
)... its not bad, but, in my minds eye, when readin about Reacher, he is older than the actor and not as buff... he's in good shape physically just not buff...He is a genuine bad a$$ having been in the Army most of his adult life as an MP... crossing him is a mistake that some don't wake up from. He's not a fighter, so much as a brawler, not to mention knowledgeable about where to punch with big hands and quite strong, a high pain threshold and a hard head...
In the books he has no home.... he travels, usually by bus, sometimes he hitches rides and carries a travel tooth brush, his ATM card, some cash and an ID... that's it. He sleeps where he can, loves coffee and cheese burgers and pie... he doesn't do laundry, he buys new clothes. He presses his pants by puttin them under the mattress where he sleeps...
