"[An] endearingly ribald six-episode dramedy import from British TV."

—

The Washington Post

"There's nothing revolutionary here, but man, what is here is some of the funniest, most soulful TV of the summer."

—

Vox

"While it does have structure to its episodes, with choices being made that keep things from ever feeling static, it's, at heart, a character piece; one which only really comes to life when Rob and Sharon are in the room together."
