Critical response

A review in the trade publication Variety said that the premiere episode "simpered through a thoroughly contrived plot", adding that Jeffreys's contributions were "a sly grin and a silly wiggle" and that Sterling's work was "restricted by the asinine lines".[15] The review acknowledged that the episode had some potential, but it added that humor was rare.[15]
