Lost Boys & Fairies

I just watched the first episode and am gripped. The acting from everyone is faultless and the story telling spot on. The Direction is also top notch.

Well done BBC for providing such excellence, for once!

The theme of fostering is very emotive and I was biting my lip for much of it.

I can't wait to watch the remaining two episodes.

I highly recommend this.

I'm going to copy and paste due to IMBD's stupid character limit.

A stunning piece of television.

I was just going through the TV channels, looking for something to watch, and I saw the name of this show; I liked that so read the synopsis and decided to watch it. I didn't watch any trailers.

The first episode had me enthralled! I loved all the characters, and their storylines were involving. It was an impressive start!

The next two episodes were even better.

The acting is incredible. The cinematography is very cleverly done. The soundtrack is fantastic. And the storyline is emotive and intelligent.

I really can't recommend this highly enough.

Have tissues handy.

Andy and Gabriel decide it's time to develop their relationship, and consider adoption. Gabriel has a strict set of guidelines as to the type of child he wants to take on, Andy is less picky. Their lives are turned upside down when they meet Jake.

I'm late to the party.... I know, I simply didn't fancy it, I had visions of it being a BBC tick box exercise, I was totally wrong, this is a drama of the highest order, without a shadow of a doubt, this is one of the drama highlights of the year.

You'll need your hankies at the ready for this one, there are several scenes that will have you blubbering and sobbing, it is an incredibly moving drama.

Fra Fee and Elizabeth Berrington deliver first class performances, the two are really quite brilliant, Sion Daniel Young however deserves an award for his performance as Gabriel, he is truly phenomenal.

Gwyneth Keyworth, I adore you!

10/10.

I have just finished watching Lost Boys and Fairies and I have to say it is absolutely brilliant.

I love as emotional with every episode , though the final episode had me sobbing like a baby. It is both funny and moving in equal measure at times it is dark too.

Tha acting is top notch and so believable at for the man character is unlikeable but by episode 3 I had fallen in love with him and wanted him to pull through his turmoil.

I had been recommended to watch it by a friend but I was not expecting to love it so much. I came away from watching it and still thinking about the amazing storyline and emotion I had felt on this journey. It is really one of the best things I've watched on tv in a long time.

I don't think I've ever felt moved to write a review on IMDB, nor have I ever scored anything 10 as one never knows when one might watch something truly perfect. This a solid nine, and I'm quite cross decimals aren't permitted as it almost warrants a perfect score. I binged episodes 2 and 3 today after seeing the first episode last night as it was broadcast. This mini-series is a thing of great beauty. It will put you through extreme emotional highs and lows, but at the end of it you will emerge a better person and perhaps understand that you and all your terrifying emotional baggage are not alone. As Philip Larkin explains: what will survive of us is love. Forget the Kleenex, have an abundance of extra absorbent 3 ply kitchen towels to hand.
