She what?

The Devil's Whore was too baffling for me. I don't get the main character. Religiously confused, saw Satan up a tree, married her cousin and got ignored by the king? Ooookay. It's written by Peter Flannery ('Our Friends in the North') and has a cracking cast, but the approach - history through the eyes of an individual - just didn't gel for me. Also, too long, at 1h20. Three more parts to come? Ah, no.
I've got a soft streak a mile long for Maxine Peake, and also get a bit captivated by John Simm, but I don't know if that can hold me. I just didn't understand any of it, and nobody likes to feel stupid.
