 After the series premiered in the United Kingdom , British critics were mixed in their reviews . Jonathan Bernstein of The Guardian gave the series a positive review , stating " It 's awesome ! Everything that 's capable of exploding explodes . What was a decent but unexceptional military action show is now Naked 24 . " Jonathan Angwin of CultBox rated it three out of five stars , called it " the body of Spooks with very little of the brains , " adding that the series is " silly , immature , shocking , but undoubtedly entertaining and certainly not boring . " Patrick Samuel of Static Mass also rated Project Dawn three out of five stars , stating that the main story was " an intriguing one with implications of a conspiracy deep within MI6 , " but was critical that the series mostly focused on Scott rather than the other main characters , the movement of the storyline , and that Scott and Stonebridge " seemed to be most inapt pair to lead missions as they blow their cover on several occasions , endangering others . " However , Samuel praised the series ' action sequences , saying that they " [ did ] not disappoint . "
