"It's only the first episode, and there's a heap of pressure on it, but this is an iffy start to the TV take on the beloved book series We must start by saying that it is unfair to review a television series on the basis of its first episode. But we must also make it clear that RTÉ is releasing The Walsh Sisters one precious episode at a time, drop by drop, like a serialised novel by Charles Dickens in the nineteenth century."

The inaugural episode carries heavy expectations and presents an iffy, underwhelming beginning to a TV adaptation of a beloved book series. Immediate judgment based solely on the first instalment is unfair because subsequent episodes may alter impressions. RTÉ is releasing The Walsh Sisters in a deliberately serialized manner, issuing one precious episode at a time, which heightens anticipation and scrutiny. The combination of high pressure, a staggered drop-by-drop release, and a shaky opening amplifies concerns about whether the series will meet fan expectations or develop a stronger momentum in later episodes.
