    Brilliant

    I happened across the dvds of series 1 by chance, and fell in love. With members of my family from Wales, and a firm love for the country, I felt as though I was at home. The sense of humour is fall-on-your-knees funny and the characters are brilliantly drawn. Every minute is a gem and I am about to embark on a hunt for further series. I love the reality of the storyline and that nothing is too far-fetched. A special mention for Daddy, who has me crying with laughter, and the lovely Welsh scenery is beautifully included.

    This is a brilliant series and I hope it runs longer than Gavin & Stacy. I hope Ruth Jones gets recognition for her writing / acting.

    Great new Welsh comedy drama

    Definitely worth watching! Following the success of Gavin & Stacey, Ruth Jones has brought another great series to the screens. Set in the Welsh valleys with Ruth Jones playing the lead of Stella, a divorced woman in her forties with 3 children. It is a well written, funny and heart warming story that unfolds through the episodes. The character selection and relationships between the characters is excellent. As a Welsh person myself I have really enjoyed the humor and the catchphrases have certainly caught on as a joke between friends. The only thing that could of improved the airing of the series was if it was broadcast on BBC TV as Gavin & Stacey was, therefore, making it more widely available.

    Brilliant writing, brilliant casting, brilliant comedy, brilliant stories...just brilliant all around!

    I've stumbled upon the Binge On The BBC section on Hulu and it has been the best i could ever done.

    After becoming hooked by Gavin and Stacey, I watched all episodes back to back, I had to find out more about Ruth Jones.

    Stella, her new pride and joy, is absolutely phenomenal. I'm not at all familiar with Welsh culture, but just by watching this show alone you will be, because it's addictive. The comedy and story- lines are universal. And that Welsh flare, the Welsh valley based characters are beautifully written. The characters are all adorably flawed which creates great room for story telling. And Ruth takes full advantage of that room.

    The casting is brilliant. Every part is spot-on to the T.

    I can now say that I'm and avid British television fan.

    Just brilliant! Can't wait for series (season) 4!!!

    Wonderful Show! Fall in love with the Welsh!

    Stella is a wonderful show. The stories are interesting and the characters are all well defined. Ruth Jones is awesome. The locations are wonderful as well. I had to watch the whole series in one go. It'll make you love the Welsh people!

    Which Rock Have I Been Hiding Under To Miss This Top Telly?!!

    I was very late to the party with Gavin & Stacey, only watching it last year and absolutely loving it, so much so, that I've watched every episode at least half a dozen times over including the specials.

    Because of G&S I knew of Ruth Jones, despite finding her character disgustingly funny in equal measures, but what a great actor she is !

    Been looking for something new to watch and came across STELLA, I'm half Welsh, my paternal Grandparents are from Pontypridd so the right area and one of my favourite friends here in Leicester is from Mountain Ash , also in the Rhondda.

    I've been binge watching this brilliant series and still got series 4 to watch. Relatable, funny, sad, weird, outrageous and just utterly brilliantly written and acted.

    Ruth, if you are reading this, hats off to you girl, thank you so much for this and Gavin and Stacey ! Can't recommend it enough.

    Right, I'm going now, in a minute !! Cheeers.
