Keeping Faith

Keeping Faith is another gem of a drama to come from BBC Wales, and I'm so glad to see it's finally getting a full BBC1 transmission, as people need to see this.

The story is brilliant, and the eight part format allows it to develop, and develop it does, the middle episodes are so different to the opener, with the final two parts even more dramatic and intriguing.

The acting is fantastic throughout, with Eve Myles showing what a superb talent she is. Mark Lewis Jones, Eiry Thomas and Matthew Gravelle all impress also, in fairness the whole cast do an incredible job.

Superb production values, it looks and sounds fantastic throughout, Amy Wadge provides some superb vocals. The Welsh setting looks incredible, so picturesque.

All in all I'd say it's quite easy to follow, at no time did it being confusing or too deep, they've left plenty of questions that need answering, and I'm delighted to hear that a second series is in the pipeline.

Bravo all involved. 10/10

In a world where people are looking for instant gratification and sound-bites, it is refreshing to see a production that is allowed to develop the storyline and characters and to enable the audience to want more at the end of each episode: I would use the analogy of reading a book that you don't want to put down "just one more chapter"! I appreciate that others have commented on this is as a negative, but I would strongly disagree.

The locations are stunning and the whole thing, from location through actors & production showcases Welsh creativity and television at its best.

I look forward to seeing further productions of such depth and quality.

Season one was okay , some interesting potential, well acted, but slow. It's 8 episodes that should be 6.

Season 2 and 3 are six episodes each. However, they are essentially each 30 minute episodes of content that have the same song montage every 6 minutes to stretch it out to 58 minutes. There is no real story. Think of a quiet Hallmark Movie that is requited to play the same song over the same tired visuals every 6 minutes. In the end, as each episode aired I felt less compassion for the characters and their awful and unrealistic life decisions.

Utterly brilliant from start to finish. Is it the finish?!!!! I want more. Eve is just mesmerising. She is such a great actress and so original. I believed every second of her portrail of poor Mrs Howells. So very very glad she agreed to be in this role. It would have been a travesty to have lost her to another career! She was born to act. Anfmf so lovely to hear Amy Wadges gorgeous track 'Faith's song'. Cant believe its over!

People that have given this show negative feedback have clearly never been in a situation that makes common sense fly out the window.

Overacting!? The woman's life has crumbled in the space of a week. Superb acting throughout.

Great show
