Reception

In her review for

The New York Post, Adam Buckman wrote, "I didn't quite believe my eyes when I watched K Street, but like a UFO, I'm eager for a second look".[5] USA Today gave the show one-and-a-half stars out of four and wrote, "sitting through K Street was like watching a group of show-off kids hanging around amusing each other when they should be working. You'd think these people would have better things to do with their time, particularly the ones who are drawing a salary from the public treasury. Taxpayers and HBO subscribers should demand better for their money".[6]
