In a review on The Daily Beast, the show was called an 'unhinged right-wing revenge fantasy' which pandered to 'to male red-state viewers with routine references to beer, guns, country music, and hunting.'
A review on RogerEbert.com called the show 'an alpha male cry for help,' 'jingoism at its finest, and absolute worst' and 'openly deranged.'
The film has received a 40 percent rating from critics and a 94 percent rating from fans
