Reception
The Irish Times described the series as "entertaining", "bonkers" and "cheesy", as well as "ludicrous", noting that "none of the characters behaves rationally, and the action bears only a passing resemblance to the real world."[9]
Digital Spy said that Scholey embraces the role of Cathy with "gusto" but that her "impulsive plan for revenge goes from intriguing, to absurd, to unsatisfying”, and that journey can be "a reflection of the plot as a whole".[10]
