A third person tweeted: "The BBC's #marriagebbc is an immaculate study, not only of a marriage but the simple art of getting through the day. Sean Bean is awkwardly heartbreaking. You can't take your eyes off him, and he's not even doing anything. Walker magnificent as ever. Genius writing. Must watch!" while another added: "Lots of satisfying resolution in #marriagebbc in episode four. Loved this series."
Viewers praised Nicola and Sean for their chemistry
Many fans also applauded Nicola and Sean for their performances, with one person commenting on the pair's chemistry: "It's brilliant. Natural, understated, realistic, yet funny, laconic; every gesture, every extra, every dialogue is there for a reason. English social mores are observed so acutely. Brilliantly acted by all; Walker and Bean's chemistry is fantastic," while another agreed, adding: "Acting students will study this series for years to come. A masterclass from Nicola Walker and Sean Bean."
