Reception

[edit]

Initial reaction after the first episode were mixed: some people struggled to understand the programme's style.[9][10] Episode one's consolidated viewing figure of 4.96 million fell to 2.82 million for episode two and subsequent episodes failed to register at all in the top 30 programmes for the week on BBC1.[11] However, after the show's finale, it received acclaim from critics.[12]
