Reception
Rebecca Nicholson for The Guardian gave it four out of five and said: "(Screw) settles somewhere between soap and Sunday night blockbuster, and I mean that as a compliment. This is broad and warm and welcoming, with enough of a sharp side to make it worth sticking with." The Times also gave it four out of five and praised the use of humour. References
