The programme features heavy usage of the protagonist talking to the camera and breaking the fourth wall, and its subject matter relates to Pascoe's books Animal and Sex Power Money, which are about sexuality and biology.

[4] The show's subject matter—that of sexual relationships and biology—overlaps with Pascoe's two books, Animal: The Autobiography of a Female Body and Sex Power Money.

[4] The style in which the woman protagonist talks to the camera is similar to that of British comedies including Chewing Gum, Fleabag, I Hate Suzie, Miranda and This Way Up.

Another case of a sitcom in which a comedian plays a character named after herself is The Duchess, a 2020 Netflix series starring Katherine Ryan.

[8] Ben Dowell of The Times gave the show a rating of four stars out of five, praising it as a "rollerblading ringmaster of confessional comedy".

[10] Iain Leggat of The Scotsman similar found that the show improved after a "sluggish" pilot, praising the cast and Pascoe as "most at ease" when "dissecting the dynamics of sexual politics directly to camera".
