Cleddau

The community of Pembroke Dock is rocked, when Abbi Rayner, a nurse is killed, twelve years after Paul Harvey was convicted for killing two other nurses, DI Ffion Lloyd is drafted in the head the case, along with DS Rick Sheldon, the pair know eachother well.

It's a very good, Welsh drama, there was enough here to make me want to binge watch it in two sittings, if you're a fan of Hinterland and Hidden, you'll enjoy this.

It's a typically murky storyline, with plenty of suspects, the obligatory friction between the two central characters, and there's the dysfunctional family.

I wasn't crazy initially about Rick and Ffion knowing one another, I felt that idea has been overdone, but it worked well in the end.

Episode three was the big turning point for me, I thought it was terrific, really had me on the edge of my seat.

You'll recognise so many faces, including Richard Harrington and Elen Rhys, but if you've enjoyed the aforementioned dramas, you'll recognise plenty more.

The acting is first rate, the whole cast perform so well, I'd have to make a special mention for Matthew Aubrey though, I thought he was terrific as Mel Owen.

7/10.

It's very hard to carry a murder mystery over 6 episodes unless the script is great, and this script is far from it. In my experience Welsh crime dramas are glacially slow, it's a slow and painful process keeping up with them.

It is so full of cliches, like a bad American police procedural. A DI is brought back to her former station to work on a case similar to one she helped solve 10 years before. She teams up with her former colleague/lover. From there it's downhill full of cliches. Every new piece of evidence sends them down another rabbit hole. This isn't a "Grace" or a "Vera" or any of the top British crime dramas.

Great cast members like Richard Harrington and Elen Rhys deserve better scripts. This should have been 3 separate crime stories, 2 episodes each and it would have been more successful.

I have watched some BBC Wales dramas in the past and enjoyed them. Keeping Faith was one of them.

This one hooked me from the very beginning , watched first 3 episodes without a break.

Unlike a lot of dramas the characters are not cardboard cutouts , they all have a bit of depth and actually are quite realistic.

The story is quite good, plenty of twists and turns. At the end of the day it's very good solid entertainment. Occasionally there are some silly coincidences and some predictable occurrences. Still overall I enjoyed it, mainly due to the actors and the sense of realism.

This is good solid BBC drama which vis most enjoyable. Recommend watching it.

As a big fan of good TV crime, I found a lot to enjoy here. The series is both exciting, has good characters played by convincing actors and filmed in beautiful surroundings in Wales. The series has 6 episodes. For my part, I think the quality of the episodes was variable. It starts very exciting, nail-biting, creepy and a promising start. Halfway through the series, I fall off a bit. The story becomes more elaborate with a focus on not only the current case, but also murders far back in time. Then I think there is a lot of dialogue, investigation, back and forth. This at the expense of the excitement that I am looking for in such series. But by all accounts, this one is far above the majority of crime TV. It just doesn't manage to keep me on my toes the whole way.

Brits are pros at this - well-executed police procedurals. You can rely on them to have solid plotting and carefully planned dramatic arcs, capable actors, and three-dimensional characters with realistically grounded problems.

I enjoyed that the pacing wasn't rushed - however, the series could've been an hour shorter. (It annoys me that it appears "compulsory" nowadays to have at least 6 episodes for one story.) There were some unnecessary coincidences, and to be fair, all and all the series wasn't really that groundbreaking.

However, it was still a good binge with lovely Welsh scenery to boot.
