She also praised the writing, performances and characterisation “from the leads down to the supporting players", noting that "there are truths about family and friends that make it seem like more than a throwaway sitcom.
[21] Carol Midgely in The Times described it as "a small delight" and praised the performance of Simon Bird and the cast, as well as the "sharply, wittily written" script, adding that "it is a brave comedy that targets religion, but only a clever one could do it with this much heart and jolliness.
"[22] The i described it as "funny as hell" [23] while, in a four-star review for The Evening Standard, Vicky Jessop wrote "who knew eternal damnation could be this fun?".
[28] Similarly positive reviews came from The New York Post ("hell yeah")[29] and The Daily Beast, which called it "really goddamn funny" and "the sort of laughs-at-any-cost sitcom rarely made in the UK these days".
