Reception

Review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gave the first season a 38% rating based on 40 reviews, with an average rating of 5.08/10. The critics consensus states "Gypsy's ludicrous plot trudges along, dragging a talented cast with it."[19] Metacritic gave the season a rating of 45 out of 100, based on 21 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[20]

The show has been criticized by Roma organizations for its use of the term "gypsy".[21] Many Romani people consider this to be an ethnic slur due to its historical use in antiziganist violence, including laws authorizing the enslavement, branding, deportations, and murder of Romanichal (British Roma) during the Tudor period in England.[22]
