‘Channel 4 needs to give it’s head a wobble if they don’t renew this.’

‘Needs a second season or spinoff,’ someone else commented.
While on Google reviews, one fan said: ‘Matt Berry has done it again. Genius! Very dark comedy with some really good twists thrown in.
‘It’s a bit like Stephen Toast meets Sherlock Holmes. Good choice of co-stars who held their own.’
