BBC viewers were not happy after the first episode of new Sunday night series Marriage. The four-parter launched last night and stars Sean Bean and Nicola Walker.
The series follows the pair as their characters Ian and Emma navigate the ups and downs of long-term relationships. The couple have been married for 30 years.
In the first instalment, viewers were introduced to them and their families, friends and colleagues and the show opened with Ian and Emma having a ten-minute-long argument over a jacket potato.
Later in the episode, Ian finds himself becoming suspicious of Emma’s boss while struggling to adjust to redundancy after returning from a holiday. People watching at home also saw their daughter Jessica introduce her parents to her new boyfriend, Adam, who they were less than thrilled at meeting.
But some BBC fans were left less than impressed with the drama, bemoaning the pace of the new series which left them switching off. Several complained the first episode was “slow” and “boring”, while others vowed to boycott the rest of the series.
“I give up. After 30 mins I’ve switched over to any other programme than watch this rubbish,” one angry viewer wrote on Twitter.
"#marriage I’ve left - so boring,” another said, while a third wrote: "Well I gave it 35 minutes and I was almost asleep! Such a shame cos 2 great actors! Not for me this #marriage."
A fourth viewer slammed the show as “one of the worst things [they’d] ever watched on BBC1”.
