Neil Armstrong in the i newspaper praised the performance of Arya and described it as a "silly but enjoyable action thriller".[14] Adam Sweeting for The Arts Desk gave the show four stars and praised "strong work from Arya and Jallab" but felt that "the show’s major calling card is Sean Harris" Average viewers disliked the direction of the series and saw it as unrealistic and trying to adhere to an agenda rather than provide entertainment.[15]
