Reception
David Craig in The Radio Times says "it's totally daft but unashamedly so, and there's a lot of fun to be had for those willing to go along for the ride".[11]
Rebecca Nicholson in The Guardian said it was a "big, robust comedy", which "isn't for the faint-hearted".[12]
It was a The Times Critics' choice saying the show was "coarse, amoral and seriously funny. Bring on series two."[13]
Frances Taylor in The Radio Times calls it "bold, brash and a lot of fun".[14]
The Daily Telegraph called it "gleefully broad and raucously entertaining".[15]
Rachel Cooke in The New Statesman called the comedy on the show “relentlessly laboured” full of “faux-feminist puerility”.[16]
