Reception
Writing in the Guardian, Luke Buckmaster gave it 3 stars. He writes "But the pacing in this series is a little off, with an airiness that loosens some of the key dramatic pivots. Coleman’s script avoids going over these with highlighter pen, which of course isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it does engender a circular momentum that sometimes extracts the pith from the drama, loosening its impact."[2] Laura Brodnik of Mamamia says "This is also a series that deftly handles its subject matter, never shying away from trauma, grief or pain. It is a story that invites the audience to sit in life's hardest moments, never throwing a Hollywood gloss over the most troubling scenes, all while examining the complexity of how these moments came to be."[3]
