Over here, the family which normally eats historical stuff up isn't watching, because we found the script and dialog so poor and the characters so superficial and obvious. Although I'll admit nobody got through the first episode. The Mills and Boon reference might just hit the mark, as we thought this show might be targeting the Downton Abbey audience but is instead aimed at something else. With so much wit to draw on in the related genres, its disappointing they couldn't bring everyone along for the ride.
