Critical reception
Brian Lowry, writing for Variety, thought the show's pilot episode was formulaic and did not take full advantages of the time travel premise. In particular, the show "appears more content to focus on the humdrum details of Shelby and Cyd’s frantic lives than, say, sending them back to meet Abraham Lincoln or ahead to a time of flying cars."[11]
