I've stumbled upon the Binge On The BBC section on Hulu and it has been the best i could ever done.After becoming hooked by Gavin and Stacey, I watched all episodes back to back, I had to find out more about Ruth Jones. Stella, her new pride and joy, is absolutely phenomenal. I'm not at all familiar with Welsh culture, but just by watching this show alone you will be, because it's addictive. The comedy and story- lines are universal. And that Welsh flare, the Welsh valley based characters are beautifully written. The characters are all adorably flawed which creates great room for story telling. And Ruth takes full advantage of that room. The casting is brilliant. Every part is spot-on to the T.I can now say that I'm and avid British television fan.Just brilliant! Can't wait for series (season) 4!!!
... View MoreI happened across the dvds of series 1 by chance, and fell in love. With members of my family from Wales, and a firm love for the country, I felt as though I was at home. The sense of humour is fall-on-your-knees funny and the characters are brilliantly drawn. Every minute is a gem and I am about to embark on a hunt for further series. I love the reality of the storyline and that nothing is too far-fetched. A special mention for Daddy, who has me crying with laughter, and the lovely Welsh scenery is beautifully included.This is a brilliant series and I hope it runs longer than Gavin & Stacy. I hope Ruth Jones gets recognition for her writing / acting.
... View MoreStumbling upon the series Stella has been an absolute delight! There is not one detail of this series that I don't adore. From the quirky characters, to the delightful dialogue, to the beautiful scenic villages - I'm in love with it all. When Gilmore Girls went off the air in the states, I thought I'd never find another series like it - with Stella, I have found that void. Ruth Jones is absolutely brilliant. She is a true gem and delight. I have repeatedly watched the first series and agonize in anticipation for the commissioned two series to follow. I can't wait to see what quirky, outlandish characters are added, where each of the story lines go and what new paths they lead this fan down. If Ruth Jones ever decides in adding an outlandish, American hillbilly to the characters, I certainly hope she considers ringing me up!!
... View MoreI have watched every single episode of the comedy Stella and i saved the series to watch again and again i have watched Ruth Jones in Gavin and Stacey but i think this has been a fantastic series.
