The TV show is based on the 1928 book of the same name by DH Lawrence, which was banned in various countries and the subject of many obscenity courtcases for its scandalous (at the time) description of the sex between a working class man and an upper class woman.
The two main roles were played by Game of Thrones actor Richard Madden, and actress Holliday Granger, and the show quickly started trending on Twitter in Ireland last night.
