Reception
Critical reception
Jasper Rees in The Daily Telegraph gave the show four stars out of five, praising the performances of “likeable” Haggard and Joseph, noting that the tone swung “wildly between carefree irony and repellent savagery” noting that “in the first episode, a tongue is severed with brutal nonchalance while bodies pile profligately high in a Tarantino-esque killing spree.”[8] Nick Hilton in The Independent gave the series three stars out of five, praising Haggard as “a terrific presence”, but found the “quippy tone grating” compared to the violence akin to “directors like the Coen Brothers, Quentin Tarantino, and Martin McDonagh” and “humour mixed with a blackness colour-matched from the darkest recesses of the universe”.[9] Lucy Mangan in The Guardian also praised the performance of Haggard and gave the series five stars, saying that “cleverness, style and innovation” saying that she “loved it” and found it evokes “Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson and the Coen brothers in its ability to mash genres together.[10]
