Yep, Season 1 of the TV show did this justice! Reacher is faced with seemingly limited information and insurmountable odds in hand-to-hand combat, but rather than hand-waving and saying he's just so strong he powers through everyone, he's creative and smart about his choices. The character is refreshing in that way, and in his actual preference for the nomadic lifestyle (rather than it being some self-inflicted purgatory for imagined past crimes that most of the macho male leads like to have in action stories like this). I'll definitely continue the series!
