Reception
Stuart Jeffries writing for The Guardian, criticised the dialogue and writing saying: "[...] the writing needs to be so much better. The dialogue is too often laughably expository. Too often characters tell us history rather than dramatising it." The same sentiment was echoed by Patrick Kevin Day of The Los Angeles Times, though he praised the production design and the cast's acting. He concluded saying: "Just don’t expect to be compelled to finish the whole thing in one sitting. Sometimes, a little magic goes a long way." Conversely Ellen E. Jones wrote for The Independent: "[...] despite their derring-do, this new cast of Skins graduates and ex-models didn't quite live up to the Devil's Whore originals, a group that memorably included Peter Capaldi, Dominic West, John Simm and Michael Fassbender."
David Hinckley of the New York Daily News was more positive about the series as he said: "Once we sort of figure out what's going on, which takes some work, the action is lively." He commended the cast, with particular notion for Dornan's performance, stating: "Dornan plays historical drama smoothly, as do his fellow performers."
