Now, according to Deadline, the first three episodes released on Friday have surpassed the entire first season audience by 50% in the first three days on the streamer.
They add that “Reacher” is now the No. 1 title of the year for Prime Video in terms of total viewers across all series and films globally.

The remainder of the season is set to roll out weekly through January 19th. Nielsen figures for the second season should become available in about a month.
The film has a perfect 100% critics score and an 83% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes with most of the audience complaints being about the switch from the binge to the weekly model.
