following the release of the first season of "orange is the new black", doggett received some criticism from different media. writing for "the american conservative", b. d. mcclay claimed that doggett was a poor and inaccurate representation of american christians; "pennsatucky is such an aggressively terrible character" and "her faith is neither well-understood nor well-drawn". laura leonard of "christianity today", supports clay's view and goes further to say "it was frustrating to see this one painful narrative represent christian faith on "oitnb", a show that masters other aspects of the melting pot so well", speaking about doggett's background story and conflict with chapman. two critics for "the a.v. club" also gave negative reviews of doggett; emily vanderwerff says that "pennsatucky never really comes together as a character in the same way as some of the others on the show" and myles mcnutt opted to criticize the storyline of the final episode of the first season specifically, saying that it "[treats] her like a cartoon villain instead of a real character". betsy leondar-wright accused the series' creators of classism and said that doggett was an "outrageous redneck stereotype".
