Sadly I had high hopes for this show, the actors are top tier, and the premise could be very interesting, with great range and depth. The first episode was crammed with slick dialogue, some of it cringe worthy, that seems to be completely absent in the second episode. Weโre introduced to the characters, premise, core mystery, and the episode mystery at a rapid fire pace. Yet at this pace the showโs first episode still achieved coma inducing blandness that continued into the second episode (without the slick banter)โฆ The mystery in the second episode basically solved itself, and though there was some distinguishing tension between the baddies and our hero, again the actors are top tier, the second episode hardly stepped out of the โjust more prime time fodderโ category.
As some other comments have, comparing this to Primeโs Reacher I think this show has a promise of real depth that the animatronic, overly amplified bullying hubris of the main character in Reacher will never achieve.
I hope the producers and writers watched the end product as it aired, they have work to do if they want the stellar show this could be with a chance at a second seasonโฆ
