Try as we might, we just can't get through Episode 1.

I actually found Ep 1 to be the "best" of them all, certainly in its sheer weirdness. Thereafter it had its ups and downs but, as Rameau says, each episode reveals a new facet of the story and by the end it becomes quite moving, with a lot to say about modern society. Hey Kev, my mother-in-law gave up after the first episode too. I wonder if you are by any chance related.

Reacher S1 (2022)
Alan Ritchson is as affable a walking slab of meat as you're going to find. Great casting here.
First episode is very, very good at establishing the appropriate tone and hitting all the beats the wandering anti-hero genre is noted for, while the next four episodes go on to adeptly sustain this fantasy.(Hey, look what can happen when you respect the source material).
Clearly Nick Santora doesn't suffer from the widespread delusion that a TV show should be attempting to cure the USA's social ills by using it (ironically enough) as a divisive political soapbox.
That said, the last three episodes demonstrate the weaknesses inherent in the procedural crime thriller when, after there is no more left to be said about character and/or plot, the audience is served a rehash of what came before interspersed with a series of lackluster action sequences wherein the bad guys stand around spilling their dastardly plans.
Had the first season been wrapped up in 6 episodes I'd call Reacher a resounding success. As it stands, however, it's no more than an entertaining diversion.

Ipcress file ep1 with Joe Cole.
Proof that you need more than a brown trenchcoach and nhs glasses to have michael caine's presence, timing and delivery. It wasnt unwatchable but sorry Joe, go back to Gangs of London.
"Yes, Sir. ....i shall miss that, Sir"
