So, a slow burner or a boring ,depressing load of Shute

Those north Wales villages look pretty forlorn and it's tough to earn a living there for sure.

I fell asleep half way through. Is it worth watching the end of it

Didn't think much of it last week, but going to give it another go tonight, see if it picks up.

Thanks.
Might save an hour out of my life and avoid the rest.


I actually recognise those locations and it's pretty grim on those estates in middle of nowhere. Scenery doesn't feed a family unless you have a hotel or other business for tourists .

Trampie should give thanks so many English visitors are prepared to put money into the economy

Took the kids camping there when they were young and twas the worst weekend of my life, Swans aside.


Welsh English though is a good observation as many things in Welsh are not translatable.


Thanks for the head up.


Hinterland was far better

As an aside, is that hairy bloke who plays the pervy young stone mason the only available welsh actor under 30? He's in every feckin thing.

After the dire 'Hinterland' (there's only so many times I can watch car drive the same 100 yards somewhere between Aberystwyth and Devil's Bridge) I'm not sure I'll even give this a try.

Didn't feel interested enough in it to watch second episode. Looks very drawn out and boring.

Hinterland was excellent and the Chldrens Home / Devils Bridge thingy was the central point of the whole series.
'Keeping Faith' was excellent as well although the producer was obviously perving over the leading lady.
Can't take to this latest offering though. It is a bleak prortrayal of Wales as usual and I am sure there will be some twists. The problem is none of the characters are very likeable so you end up not giving a sh!t what happens to them. Slow burner maybe but it needs to perk up.

Why is it almost all filmed in the dark?

I can only guess it's a saving for decent backdrop. Shadows are much cheaper.

Really enjoyed all 3 series.

Well done all the marvellous welsh talent that created them.

Watch them all - and enjoy.

Stop moaning about it being slow.

You must have the attention span of a gnat or something similar.

Do you prefer Janet & John books or Ulysses?

Rambo or 2001: Space Odyssey

To me, it's atmospheric. And the landscape is lovely.
