Lucy Mangan in The Guardian gave the show three stars and said it had "enough to keep you hooked even after you realise too many of the characters are ciphers, the main action is preposterous but that the brutal misery of divorce is somehow perfectly evoked and underlies every moment. It makes you want to cry even as you laugh in disbelief at the shenanigans unfolding”. [7] James Jackson in The Times praised the cast and said the series "grabs you from the off as an almost infuriatingly watchable bit of black-hearted fun" with "engagingly contrasting characters, bouncing off each other as if in a pinball machine of retribution".
