A great example of how the Reacher TV series diverges from the original books is the character Frances Neagley, played by Maria Sten. She’s become a fan favorite and will even star in her own spin-off show, while still appearing in the main Reacher series. Interestingly, Neagley only appears in a single book by Lee Child, which has been adapted into the show. Another adjustment made for television – Jack Reacher actually has to speak more! Despite these changes, Prime Video’s Reacher is a hit with both viewers and critics, and it shows how adaptations of books into TV series can be done successfully.
