Reception
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 45% approval rating with an average rating of 4.1/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Obliterated pulls out all the stops to be as memorable a binge as a bar crawl, but the hangover sets in quickly for this overly busy series." [12] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 46% out of 100 based on nine critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews". [13] Leila Latif of The Guardian gave the series one out of five stars and wrote, "The pace is so excruciating and the show so repetitive that by the third hour, nothing would seem more heroic than someone detonating the bomb and putting us all out of our misery".
