'Reacher' Breaks a Major Rule From Lee Child's Novels, but the Show Wouldn't Work Without This Change

In Lee Child’sJack Reacher book series, protagonist Jack Reacher is defined as a quiet, taciturn man. “Reacher said nothing” is a phrase that is commonly used in books, to the point that author Andy Martin used it as the title of his book about Child's process of writing the novels. The phrase also got the honor of being used as an episode title on Amazon'sReacher.
