Melanie McFarland from website Salon glorified the series' approach on ageism, writing, "There's a lot to appreciate about how accessible this series made its conversations about age discrimination in the workplace and society at large, and hopefully others will draw influence from its blend of intelligence and lightheartedness." In a positive review, Christopher James from Awards Circuit singled out the series' approach of women in positions of power and ageism.
