Keeping Faith

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!

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.

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.

The series hasn't finished airing yet but it's been a pleasure to watch. One of those shows that has you questioning everyone's motive and character. The acting is top notch all round and really showcases Eve Myles as a performer. Lastly, the cinematography is outstanding. Never has Wales looked so gorgeous on a scripted tv series.

Couldn't get to the end of the 1st episode. Terrible acting and just plain annoying.
