The books are full of cliches, and instead of doing like they did with Jack Ryan and only using the name, they are being pretty true to the Reacher books.

I'll take that every time over the writers deciding to go off the reservation.

This show is ****ing great. Not because it is well written, but because it isn't and they lean fully into just how bad it is. Which makes it awesome.
