Anita Singh, writing in The Telegraph, described the series as "surprisingly moreish", comparing it to a Harlan Coben thriller, awarding it 4 out of 5 stars. Carol Midgley of The Times also gave 4 out of 5 stars, praising the writing and pace, which hints at "darkness beneath the glossy surface."
Elle Magazine described the series as "wildly addictive."
Lucy Mangan, writing in The Guardian, gave it 3 out of 5 stars, calling it "a gloriously ridiculous thriller that slips down a treat". Vicky Jessop of The Standard also gave it 3 out of five, praising the acting but calling the plot "really silly". James Hibbs, writing in Radio Times, also awarded three stars, praising the direction and acting, and calling the first three "brilliantly crafted", but finding the resolution wanting, with too many mystery elements. Digital Spy also gave it three stars, saying "Creevy and Myles give exceptional performances that ground some of the more fantastical elements of the story".
The Independent was less complimentary, awarding the series 2 out of 5 and calling it "hogwash… like a deranged game of Jenga".
In September 2026, the series received five nominations at the BAFTA Cymru Awards.
