According to Elisa Mattingly who wrote a review about the show recently:
“The show involves a lot of running and jumping, as doors slam and blouses fly. There is hardly time to appreciate the chemistry between characters or the tensions of a potential murder before something ludicrous causes more guffaws to erupt.”
Not only that but she acknowledges that,
“Delivering zany one-liners while sprinting from room to room and leaping in and out of beds is no easy feat, but the cast pulls it all off with ease.”
