Keeping Faith (2017–2021)
3/10
Too long and too annoying ...
5 September 2018
This series started out as promising, the first two episodes were quite good which, unfortunately, kept me watching to see what happened. However,the downward slide starts from around the third episode when the plot becomes increasingly improbable, the main character's decisions become increasingly unlikely, and the main character's behaviour becomes seriously annoying. From lying on floors, tables, any reasonably level surface in fact, or sitting around on floors (she seems to have some issues with chairs) to taking her shoes off every five minutes or messing with her hair, Myles portrayal of Faith seriously grated on my nerves. I find it hard to believe it was part of her remit to make the main character as silly and unlikeable as possible but you never know ...

It's far, far too long and there just isn't enough substance to fill it. The endless scenes of Faith staring out to sea or out of the window to the same tune just add to the interminable slowness of this series. I started off quite liking the music but ended up loathing it. A more credible plot, believable characters and a bit more pace were badly needed here.

The one positive was the Welsh scenery which looked lovely. The rest was just a slow and steady descent into nonsense. The ending has clearly been designed to allow for a second series. I definitely will not be watching!
