Reception

Season 1 was received positively, with The Daily Beast praising the Girls Gone Wild episode for providing a "a venue for multiple Francis victims to explicate his underhanded tactics, and to express their hurt and anger over being featured in videos—if not plastered on their packaging—without having been first given a clear understanding of what they were signing up for."
