In the Amazon series REACHER, brutal scenes are not saved. The current 3rd season has deliberately defused the cruel death of an important caregiver of the protagonist. When comparing with Lee Child’s book template, it was probably even better to do without such explicit cruelty.
Attention, Spoilers for Reach Season 3, Episode 4!
The death of REacher-Mitstreiter is incredibly brutal in the book
What is meant is the death of Dominique Kohl (Mariah Robinson), which is unveiled in flashbacks in the fourth episode of season 3. Kohl was subordinate to the main character at the time and both worked together on the mission to clear villain Xavier Quinn (Brian Tea). However, this overwhelmed cabbage and tortured her to death. The death of his protégé, Reacher plunged into a deep, emotional crisis.
While leading actor Alan Ritchson spoke that Mariah Robinson’s acting performance was decisive for the success of the current season, Kohl’s death was more indicated in the Amazon Prime series than tough.
According to Screen Rant, this was probably the better choice than staying close to the incredibly explicit book template. In Lee Child’s REACHER-Roman Persuader, which was adapted for season 3, Quinn Kohl ties naked on a bed where it is beaten and tortured and then she cut off the breasts become. Then he rams a knife blade slowly from the chin to her brain.
