Critics from The Guardian have described the series as "a brilliantly funny and satirical take on the documentary genre," highlighting Morgan's skill in delivering humor through a deliberately clueless persona. IMDb ratings average around 8/10, reflecting strong audience approval and appreciation for the show's unique style.
