Reception

[edit]

Lucy Mangan of The Guardian awarded the first episode four stars out of five, remarking 'It dances along lots of tightropes without falling off. It is incredibly stylish without being self-conscious and it has energy to burn without becoming frenetic.'.[4] Michael Hogan in The Telegraph also gave it four out five stars.[5]
