One thing about Reacher that does not need explaining to the book’s fans - or to newcomers, after about half the pilot - is that he is a fighting machine who always ends up in a brawl or three. “We’ve got to keep them happy, which I think we totally have done, and at the same time make a show that anybody can just drop in and love.” “This is not necessarily about the book readers - we already got them,” he added. “It was a very faithful adaptation, in my opinion, compared to a lot of other stuff that you see,” Child said, “but it’s absolutely inevitable that you need to bring in other things to explain the character.” After all, word-for-word adherence to the source material may not, in itself, translate automatically to good television, especially since there is a huge potential audience out there that has not read a single line about Reacher. Child did not mind (and approved the changes).
