Very few changes were made from the novel to screenplay, as I understand (and recall) - except to bring it a bit from '95 to '22.
I expect more of the same for future season(s). Which is great, as far as I'm concerned. It is what it is.
I like Lee Child books but I am absolutely driven crazy in both the book and the tv show with Jack arriving in a two bit tiny town and finding his brother he hasn’t seen in several years dead in a ditch. And he is there because he wants to see the town where a random Jazz musician was born. It’s just too much of a stretch, bothered me the whole time I read the book. I was rooting for them to stay true to the book but change that. Even a message to Jack that he was going to be in the state or something would have been more plausible.
