Reception

In December 2024, the series was included in the best of the year list by Emily Baker in the i (newspaper) who described it as "genuinely groundbreaking in its approach to disability, not shying away from the difficulties of being a wheelchair user but also not reducing a person to just their disability. Most importantly, though, it was very, very funny".^[9]
