lisalacking I love watching Stella very much, it has so many lovable characters and it makes me laugh a lot. I think Ruth Jones is a great actress and writer and anything with her in has me hooked. The show is so realistic with such lovely people Id love to be part of it as an extra. I love the romances between Stella and her boyfriends especially Michael Jackson (Patrick Baladi another great actor I love to watch and very sexy). I liked how Stella and Michael hated each other at first and then when they fell in love it was magical. The show shows life as it is day after day with added spark love and plenty of laughter. I just wished there was another series after the sixth, or I hope Ruth Jones goes on to produce some else brilliant to watch.

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".

Fancyacuppa I stumbled upon this show on Hulu and just finished binge watching it. It's by far my favorite television series and I'm waiting with bated breath for series 4 - hopefully there will be one. The casting is impeccable. The quirky characters are a nice mix with the more relatable ones. The Welsh countryside is breathtaking. I wish I had a bench to sit on with the view they have from their bench. The characters have everyday problems that we all share. I shed tears and I laughed and found so much of it that I could relate to. I think if Americans give it a chance they will enjoy it as much as I did. Hats off to Ruth Jones....you're brilliant!

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.
