More than 30 years after John Grisham’s Rainmaker book became a bestseller, the novel has finally been adapted for the small screen. But if you’re wondering how to watch The Rainmaker without cable, you’re in luck because we have the only tip you need on how to do so.
The Rainmaker follows Rudy Baylor, a hotshot young lawyer who’s fired from his prestigious white-collar firm and signs on with “ambulance chaser” Jocelyn “Bruiser” Stone and paralegal Deck Shifflet, who work out of a converted former restaurant. In a dramatic turn of events, Baylor finds himself facing off against his former employer in court when he takes on a wrongful death suit involving a man who died while undergoing hospital care.
“The departures were pretty significant,” star John Slattery, who plays lawyer Leo F Drummond, told E! News about the differences between the book and TV series. “And having read the book and seen the movie, you look at the scripts and the source material is only relevant to a certain degree. Then you just shoot scene by scene and hope they stack up to something interesting.”
