Just found this mystery series 8 episodes on the BBC IPlayer. All set in Wales and from BBC Wales. Seen the first two episodes which I thoroughly enjoyed. Just wish the whole series was ready to watch.

It is a very irritating drama, but will keep going until the end now. She is very annoying at times. Think husband is dead. Wales is definitely the star but who would have thought all that crime was going on.

I’m enjoying it butttttt last nights when she was being arrested and then they suddenly ran in and arrested the arrester it was really a Keystone cops TV I thought it was ridiculous so that definitely spoiled it for me
I don’t mind her but can’t see her as a lawyer she’s just too hyper and way too emotional lawyers usually are or seen to be at least in their work cool and calm
One thing I can’t understand is her feelings for whatshisface She’s supposed to be going mad with grief for her lost husband but she obviously ( by her lack of an answer to father in law) is falling madly badly for Mr reformed criminal I could understand her turning to him for help even a kindly ‘father’ figure but would you be falling in lurve if you were desperate for your missing mate
For all the poster who have problems with the sound I do too PUT THE SUBTITLES ON I do it for every drama

I have a Lighthouse AD at the bottom of this GN thread.
Guess what they have in their sale??
Yellow jacket/mack.smile

I fell asleep on last night's episode but I find her irritating to. All this mad stuff with her hair and flinging herself about. Why does her hair keep changing colour too.

She's so annoying. Sitting on the floor to read her messages - who does that? Lying spread out on a table staring at the ceiling, who does that? Putting her feet up on the table and kicking off her shoes, I could go on but the worst bit for me was taking out her frustration on her father in law by pawing and hitting him in the car. No wonder he got out. hmm

I gave up on it after 5 minutes last night just CBA’d to watch any more.

Well they are certainly drawing out the conclusion of Keeping Faith. Last night I found very difficult to focus. One reason was I couldn't hear them properly, were they all mumbling? Seem to be speaking very quietly. Wasn't just me DH thought so too. Getting bit fed up with it now will be glad to see the conclusion. However after watching it all these weeks we will miss on Thursday as we are off on hols that day. (grin)

Ah TerriBull, Unforgotten, now you're talking! Gripping stuff.

Jane10 Fri 17-Aug-18 17:08:06

Does tossing your hair about a lot count as acting? grin

TerriBull Fri 17-Aug-18 16:24:00

I thought so sodapop, no doubt there has been an upsurge in the sales of yellow jackets!, not the high viz ones though as worn by her brother in law grin

Agree about the indistinct dialogue at times, there is some mumbling going on, but I understand Faith when she gets into "out of her tree" mode usually when driving along. We can all sympathise with her though!

Jane10 Fri 17-Aug-18 16:20:34

We don't all love it. It's all style over substance. Cut the music and agonising picturesquely and get on with it!!

sodapop Fri 17-Aug-18 16:13:14

I am enjoying it despite issues with indistinct dialogue. The police inspector is scary.
My husband says the music is the best bit as well.

TerriBull I have a similar jacket in navy from Joules, they do a yellow one too.

TerriBull Fri 17-Aug-18 16:06:05

Still watching, second time arounders, wondering if the yellow mack comes from Sea Salt or Joules. Possibly neither.

The only other series other than this, that I find worth watching at the moment is" The Unforgotten." I believe there is some interesting stuff coming down the line though and hopefully another "Keeping Faith". The BBC should have the resounding thumbs up from the rest of the UK, that we all love this series so put it out nationwide please!

NanKate Fri 17-Aug-18 15:13:30

It is my favourite series this year and I am on my second watching of it.

I was out with a friend for supper last night and I started to recommend it to her but before I could name it she said K F and she loved it too.

I started to watch that series, name evades me, that was all the rage set a few 100 years ago with lots of rape and pillage, just hated it.

So it takes all sorts.

Glitterknitbaby Fri 17-Aug-18 14:33:30

So glad it’s not just me who ‘doesn’t get it’
But do agree that the music is very good, along with the scenery
And I’m another one who’s not giving up after getting this far.

OldMeg Fri 17-Aug-18 14:25:06

Yes agree about the music! But having still ck it out this far I’m damned if I’m going to give up now.

Jane10 Fri 17-Aug-18 14:22:32

Oh good it's not just me who's found this painfully strung out. It could have been done in a well edited 2 hour special!

merlotgran Fri 17-Aug-18 13:35:51

The best bit is the music.

blossom14 Fri 17-Aug-18 12:32:04

I stuck with it as lots of posters have said how good it was. Hmmm... have had DH muttering about it most episodes and by last night could not find the plot other than laughable.

Greyduster Fri 17-Aug-18 11:12:46

I am finding it hard to like this series now, and the lead character in particular. I found some of the plot lines last night stretched credibility a bit far for me. Thankfully, last one next week!

MillieBear Fri 17-Aug-18 10:51:21

I'm trying really hard to keep my faith in Keeping Faith but last night's episode stretched my patience.

henetha Fri 17-Aug-18 10:13:54

I like Keeping Faith but must admit I was confused in last night's episode as to what was going on. I just wish Evan would hurry up and come home. Or is he dead???
I'm going to stick with it, whatever.

Age Before Beauty is too predictable, almost a cliche really. But I like the actors.

Glitterknitbaby Fri 17-Aug-18 10:08:51

Did anyone else watch Keeping Faith last night?
I just can’t make top nor tail of it, got bored and fell asleep.
Just thought I would try and see it through to the end,last episode next week, I think!

BlueBelle Fri 10-Aug-18 12:54:02

I m still watching Age before Beauty but I think it’s pretty poor and some of the acting and screaming is gross

OldMeg Fri 10-Aug-18 11:42:55

What episode was it last night?
