Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

thomasshahbaz Standard, Bridget Jones fare. The main character can do no wrong, and even when she does, it always comes up roses in the end.People are mostly depicted as simpletons, and RJ has crow-barred as many working-class Welshisms into the dialogue as possible, to the point that it becomes irritating and unrealistic. Every aspect of working-class like is reduced to schmaltzy, folsky cheese, with warm piano ballads playing and characters gazing wistfully at the sky or their loved ones, seeming to marvel at how much love there is in their world. A bucket won't suffice. I'm surprised at this, given Ruth Jones's involvement in many of TV's finest modern comedies. If only she'd channelled an iota of that edge into "Stella".

pensman Ruth Jones as Stella plays a role that alternates between cracking you up and making you weep. Nothing is more important to her than her family all of whom she supports without reservation. Unfortunately every one of them is addicted to making the worst life choices possible. Add to this a supporting cast of British loonies with idiosyncrasies that make them endearing, infuriating, and hysterical and you have a series that is as addicting as eating potato chips. While there is a core cast, you can count on Nadine, Big Alan, and Aunty Brenda to stay, every new season drops some characters and adds new ones. There is one certainty: Stella will have her heart broken as her choices in men lead to continuous disaster. But if you stick with it you will enjoy a crazy soccer game, a graveside fight, and a heart warming Christmas special. It may take some patience presh to get used to the mardy ass cocking dialect but eventually good boy it begins to make sense just avoid the bog roll bewt.

lizollipop I loved the first two series of Stella, as they were extremely funny and shocking (in places!!) and in this new series, it was good to see that Ruth Jones has taken a more sentimental approach to her story telling of life in Pontiberry... There have been many moments when I have had tears in my eyes as a response to the many love-stories at its heart. Maybe I have become a sentimental fool in my nearing 40 age range, but I think that Ruth Jones and the cast of Stella have got it spot on! Just what Friday night needs... I hope that she will be continuing to write story lines for the existing characters, and it would be so lovely to see some of the old characters returning (Rob? he was gorgeous!!). It is really evident that the cast get on really well, as it shines through on the screen.

elandharry 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.
