Reception

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 33% of 15 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 6.2/10. The website's critics consensus reads, "Betty Gilpin shines in this otherwise disappointingly didactic series, where the diverging story stands never cohere into a satisfying whole."^[22] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned a score of 52 out of 100, based on 11 critics, indicating "mixed or average" reviews.^[23] Kylie Northover from The Sydney Morning Herald wrote: "This was never going to be an easy book to adapt, and [the show] feels bloated at 10 episodes, but Maggie and Lina’s stories are compelling; Sloane and her husband (Blair Underwood) are the least relatable, a lot larger than life than they were portrayed in the book."^[24]
