Despite a promising premise, the series faced challenges, resulting in only five of the planned eleven episodes airing in the U.S. Although it garnered a slightly better reception in the U.K., the show failed to secure enough traction for a second season. Despite its shortcomings, Murphy’s charismatic performance added depth to the character, leaving a lasting impression amidst the series’ struggles.
