"There was one pretty good dish set out with this batch of moldy, overheated leftovers," the Variety Staff said. "But the rest of this six-episode outing was, not to put too fine a point on it, a mess. And not even a hot mess: The storytelling was simply bewildering when it wasn’t padded or meandering. None of the conspiracy stuff made any sense."[1]
