Reception

Lucy Mangan of The Guardian awarded the first episode two stars out of five, criticizing the writing and declaring, "Despite all the brilliant work we have all seen Sharp, Regan and Ward do over the years, and perhaps because of the script, the acting is poor from the protagonists."[4] Sean O'Grady from The Independent gave the first episode three out of five stars.[5]
