The show is praised for its realism but criticized for some of its dramatic pacing and character choices.
Reviews for the first episode highlight its technical accuracy but note a "sluggish" or "glacial" pace. Critics and viewers often comment on the show's unique visual metaphors for coding—such as Saara navigating physical corridors or warehouses to represent searching through lines of software.
“A pretty good first episode I thought, it's a chilling concept... it gave me nightmares, there was a similar vibe here.” IMDb
