Those who missed out are heartily encouraged to give it a whirl. Why? The premise of the thriller is simple enough.

I was astonished by how much I liked Keeping Faith. Sometimes it feels like we’ve seen it all in the British crime drama genre, and it’s true, Keeping Faith does share a lot in common with some other shows. The good news, though, is that it’s specifically like Big Little Lies crossed with Broadchurch.

Keeping Faith began atrociously, got a bit worse, then suddenly became terrific and ended with me chomping for the second episode.

That is the other star of the show: Wales. It does for Carmarthenshire (where most of it was filmed) what Broadchurch did for Dorset. Not airbrushed, too picture postcard or twee – so there are bungalows and caravans, as well as historic castles, guildhalls, the estuary and beach. Nor is made to look bleak and dark – this is not Cambrian noir, if that is a thing. It looks real and brilliant and Welsh.
