Miranda Sawyer • The Guardian Apr 27, 2024

"...blimey, it’s a hot one. Levine is one of the best hosts out there, and her humorous delivery and script tweaks are a highlight...it’s simply a madly freaky rollercoaster tale, made even more fun by Levine’s genuinely “they did whaaaat?” commentary. A binge-er."
