Sam Wollaston of '' The Guardian '' praised the show 's characters , suggesting Janet McTeer ( Jacquetta ) stole the show . He also praised the show 's romantic elements , commenting " Mmmm , steamy " . Gerard O'Donovan of '' The Daily Telegraph '' praised the casting of the supporting characters and the exciting " lust and vengeance " fueling the drama , but objected to the prettified portrayal of 15th century England . Deborah Ross of '' The Daily Mail '' gave the mixed review of both one and five stars , " because it possesses the sort of one-star awfulness that , if properly embraced , can transport you all the way to five-star joy . " '' The Independent '' 's Tom Sutcliffe found it " less historically plausible than '' Game of Thrones '' " , but concluded that " I ’m sure it will give innocent pleasure to many . " Barbara Ellen in '' The Observer '' , compared the show to " a strange Timotei advert , featuring fornication , shouting , horses , armour " , whilst commenting that the sex scenes , toned down in the British version , " were so vanilla , I ended up fancying an ice cream . " Reviewing the final episode for '' The Daily Telegraph '' , Bernadette McNulty stated that the series , " fell between two stools — not serious enough for the scholars nor glitzy enough for the '' Game of Thrones '' fans . " The ratings were however good . The first episode received 6 million viewers , stabilising at around the 4 – 4.5 million mark from the second episode , although occasionally it dipped below this on first broadcast figures
