Lucy Mangan  for The Guardian gave the first episode three out of five stars, remarking, 'It's great fun as long as you set your preposterousness levels to “high”. Go in thinking CSI: Peckham or Line of Bomb Duty or Bomby McBombface, rather than The Wire But With Actual Wires or Breaking Explosively Badly and you'll enjoy yourself a lot more.' Ed Cumming of The Independent also gave it three out five stars, praising the tension but finding the dialogue and storytelling melodramatic. Accolades
