6 Forget Scandi-noir, it’s all about Welsh-noir

-

We are used to a long list of internatio­nal box-sets such as The Killing, The Bridge, and Wallander. But watch out Denmark and Sweden, Wales is fast catching up on producing top quality dark dramas. Hinterland and Requiem are two Welsh series that have both received rave reviews, as did Hidden, which went out on BBC4 last month. Matthew Hall, the writer who is from Monmouthsh­ire, says Keeping Faith is a very Welsh show: “There’s a sort of Welsh way of conducting yourself, which is different to the English way, and we tried to capture that.

“Certainly the Welsh bits of my family are far more emotionall­y expressive, are more inclined to tell you how they feel.”
