A spin-off of the hit series Reacher, starring Maria Ste as a bad ass Chicago-based private investigator Frances Neagley.

Neagley’s my favourite secondary character in the Reacher books. His most trusted friend.

In the TV show — original script taking nothing from the books — I like the relationship she has with Greyston Holt as Detective Hudson Riley.

Yes, they probably made too much of Neagley’s haphephobia. It might have been better to leave that a mystery, as it is in the Reacher books.

And there’s too much shooting, car chases, violence than I’d like.

But it’s definitely worth watching.

The cast is great.

Soundtrack is quirky and endearing.

Australian actor, Damon Herriman, played notorious cult leader Charles Manson in both Netflix’s Mindhunter and Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, is good again as the prophet who runs Echo Canyon Farm. A cult.

The debut season follows Frances Neagley, a Chicago-based private investigator and former member of Jack Reacher’s 110th Special Investigations Unit.

When her childhood friend Tommy Crane dies in what police label an accident, Neagley steps in to find the truth.

Her investigation leads her into a dangerous corporate conspiracy involving Echo Canyon Farm (a cult-like commune) and Invection Pharmaceuticals, a black-market medical ring.
