Gloria

Watched GLORIA and KEEPING FAITH side by side. While both actresses were great, Cecile Bois added more passion and believability. Both were based on same story. Even the hateful detective in French version was one you detested. There was more action and depth to Gloria. It certainly kept my interest and attention. Home life a bit more revealing in Gloria. Couldn't wait for next episode...gripping, and emotionally invested. Interesting experience to view each side by side, so to speak. Countryside in each breathtaking....makes one desire to visit each area. Clothes in both what one would expect...houses by the sea would make anyone envious. Great insight in both judicial systems, though compared to American fewer inalienable rights. Look forward to further episodes of Gloria.

I've just finished watching Gloria. And didnt mind it.but had nagging feeling the story line was very familiar to UK series Finding Faith. Was it adapted.

I'm often ashamed of other women (usually American women) when they criticize apparel rather than the nitty gritty story that leads a desperate women into compromising and dangerous situations trying to solve her husband's disappearance. Had I been Gloria, I would have given police, specifically her brother-in-law, the fake idea and the wig rather than trying to unravel why her husband needed it. The female detective was unprofessional and she should have been removed from the case by her superiors because of the conflict of interest. Gloria played right into the psycho woman's hands by withholding evidence. The pushy in-laws is another story that was pretty obvious. I'm not quite finished with the last two episodes. I enjoyed Keeping Faith and am liking Gloria as well.

Opening episode. Consitently told how wonderfule and beautiful she is children, friends. Well, no: families do not behave like this. If anything, the Mother should not need constant reassurance from her children. Very very poor continuity. She's a lawyer, wears the same outfit for the whole week. Before Joey Star complements her on her cooking, they should have panned away from the instant spaghetti. She does nothing, washing, cooking, shopping. Which begs the question, who does all the housework? She doesn't have a clue for a lawyer. The imbecilic things she does. Husbands car numberplate, nope, not a clue, not a letter or number. Could be just poor continuity and directing. Too predictable and too much padding out. Two episodes required max.

Absolutely stellar performances from very talented leads. Though Mariama Gueye has to be the absolute stand out of the series, she possesses such a captivating and powerful presence on screen and I cannot wait to see what she appears in next (she is one to watch for sure!).

The story and script were very well thought out and had a charming mix of emotions and suspense, and I felt we went on such an interesting ride with Gloria.

I would highly recommend this series to anyone.
