The critic Troy Patterson raves in The New Yorker , Patricia Arquette's outstanding performance as Tilly is the strongest selling point of the series, in which the well-known plot is subordinated to an unforgettable intensity of performances: "(Arquette's) face collapses or shatters with anger with disappointment; her speaking seems to be a single, drawn out, nasal sound. Her appearance is sloppy, but the cut of her tops suggests an erotic lust for life, and the disappointment burned into her eyes marks her as an easy target for flattery not meant to be serious. She is her own fantasy helpless. " Even time critic Marietta Steinhart is impressed: "Patricia Arquette, here barely recognizable, the flight assistant Tilly Mitchell plays as whiny worker who dreams of a life of adventure for this representation she has earned more than one prize.."
