Keeping Faith

I really enjoyed this when I watched a few months ago. I've revisited it recently and if anything have found it even better. Some have said it was slow, but I think this isn't justified. What is true is that the plot and characters are given time to develop and if one is looking for more action and less depth then this may not be for you. I'm a big fan of Hinterland (which is more dark & brooding) and there are similarities, though Keeping Faith is full of lighter we'll-observed family intimacy and the moments of madness which are natural in a busy working life with young children! I felt the way the plot is developed works well - by the end of the series one is left punch-drunk with all the twists and turns but, remarkably, I felt that it was quite believable. I hope (provided it's as good as the first) that we may hear more from Faith...?

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

While I agree with many of the bad reviews on this site (particularly about the cheesy music, overly long panning shots, over the top acting and far fetched story lines) I have to say that this is possibly one of my favourite shows of the year for those very reasons.

I'll even find that sometimes I'll just be going about my day to day life and without realising I'll be humming the main song. This show is amazing... if taken with a bit of good humour.

Things to look out each episode: Faith taking off or putting on her heels multiple times. Faith leaving the kids with family or giving the kids to strangers. Faith going from hysterically crying to maniacally laughing in seconds. The music.

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!

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.
