Speaking about the series, she continued: "You've got the gold rush, but it's also a world where men outnumber women and you have to be super strong as a woman — have a knife under your skirt and wish for the best. I don’t get much pleasure out of playing the girlfriend all the time. You want to do what the guys do. Especially on this show, it was physically very demanding and very exciting."

Viewers have been largely positive about the show so far, with one person writing: "Rather enjoyed the new #TheLuminaries. Brilliant acting from a rather hard book." Another fan added: "I'm gonna need a series two of #TheLuminaries because that was amazing!
