Popular entertainment blogger @Jabu_Macdonald said the show keeps getting worse each episode.

"The show really has potential, and they do have a good cast, but the storyline and the entire production are not good. It’s disappointing to have a show that keeps on getting worse every day this show needs a production break or be cancelled.
