The lead actor looks like they really picked the right actor. For those that have read the books, I think most will be satisfied.

Was the books about Reacher a really buffed up dude like the The Rock? Seems too towering and muscled to do much good imo. All brute strength but low agility to fight.

I think he is Ok, although I've always thought that the body of Reacher is something like Tyson Fury's with less fat. Big, efficient muscles, but not that sculptured. Anyway, that's not my issue with the character. It seems that the trailer shows him as a bit too goofy, lighthearted and smiling too much. I picture Reacher less emotional on the surface, observing, aware of the environment, not smiling, and definitely threatening. Hist mouth may smile, but not his eyes. But, anyway, the guy is fine. He will do a fine job. I'm hoping for at least 3-4 seasons.

I've never read the books, perhaps the show will be edited differently, but based on what I saw in the trailer to me he looked too big and bulky to be able to realistically fight several men at once.

Well then, you should read the books.

I've read a few of the books and, yeah, he definitely looks the part. I'll check the series out in a few days.
