What I liked

The actors all embodied their characters beautifully, and lean into the bizarre elements of the story, which makes the show so much more honest. Special commendation must go to Kate as Denise: I loved the emotional vulnerability, and you couldn’t have found a better actor to drive the dramatic thrust of the show.

Technically very clear – the actors moved in and out of the space efficiently, and never overstayed a black out, which was greatly appreciated.

What I didn't like

The gunshot sound was much quieter than I expected, compared to the phone ringing.

My overall impression

An excellent show that showcases the talent of the people behind it, as they find and marry the bitterness and comedy inherent to the script.
