There aren’t many good comments about the series on some of the Reddit threads examining the show. “I think there is a good story to tell with this setup. But the execution seemed pretty bad,” wrote u/ElGiganto in a general discussion thread. “Did Netflix lose a bet against Lifetime? Else how the heck did this thing end up on Netflix?” quipped u/datathingy, who agreed it wasn’t a bad story, but the pacing and execution were off – mirroring other complaints that the flashbacks were too frequent. In another comment, the same user noted, “With all the best in the world, I hope there isn’t a second season.”
