 Club", Zack Handeln rated the episode a B, finding it to be "weirdly prescient of the crime dramas we wallow in today".Handlen felt that episode's tone was so "overwrought" as to be "hilarious", but still found the series to be "uncompromising" and "compelling".Handlen also noted similarities to the films "Manhunter" and "Seven" in both the episode's plot and the series' premise.
