Reception

The Independent
called the series an "intelligent, properly grown-up drama." Matt Wells of
The Guardian
said it was a "creative flop" and "it exposed how poorly the
BBC
serves gay viewers."
[2]
Sam Wollaston, also writing for
The Guardian
, praised the series and called it "wonderful".
[3]
Rupert Smith, also with
The Guardian,
said it was a "masterclass in storytelling - but surely there was more to the 1980s than a few posh people with glossy hair?"
