I don't understand how anyone can rate this show above 5. These are the most inept, corrupt cops in tv history. Almost every officer violates the law and/or common law enforcement policies on a daily basis. If they aren't sleeping with each other, they are sleeping with a suspect or a relative of a victim. There are an inordinate number of them wounded or killed. Relatives are also at risk. The supervisor violates common employment regulations. The scripts are a mess. Location shots are a plus, but can't make up for the stupidity of the officers. How this lasted as long as it did is beyond me.

Jack Reacher is a loner who travels from place to place with nothing but a toothbrush and maybe an ATM card. He has no friends tagging along to help out when he finds trouble along the way. That's the Reacher of the books. For some reason, the producers of this series didn't like that idea, so Frances Neagley has to show up in every series. Dumb move. Completely destroys the Reacher mystique. IMBD mandates 600 words. That is also a dumb move. I just wish the producers would take the character and plot as written and then film it. If they can't do that, they should create their own characters, write a story, and then film it.

Nothing like the book. Opens with Dalgleish watching his DS,Sarah, run in to a warehouse. He follows, finds 2 bodies. Goes up a couple of stairscases finds a pistol. Looks over a rail and sees Sarah dead on the floor below, the murderer standing over her. Instead of just shooting the guy, Adam lets him get away. What?! So dumb. The rest of the film deviates so far from the book as to be unrecognizable. The acting, scenery and main characters are fine, but the solution has nothing to do with the book. Ancillary characters are forgettable and not very likable. I realize poetic license us commonplace in films and TV series episodes, but this one made absolutely no sense.
