Watched GLORIA and KEEPING FAITH side by side. While both actresses were great, Cecile Bois added more passion and believability. Both were based on same story. Even the hateful detective in French version was one you detested. There was more action and depth to Gloria. It certainly kept my interest and attention. Home life a bit more revealing in Gloria. Couldn't wait for next episode...gripping, and emotionally invested. Interesting experience to view each side by side, so to speak. Countryside in each breathtaking....makes one desire to visit each area. Clothes in both what one would expect...houses by the sea would make anyone envious. Great insight in both judicial systems, though compared to American fewer inalienable rights. Look forward to further episodes of
Gloria.
It's a good series about a wife trying to figure out what happened to her husband who had suddenly disappeared.
However, for some obscure reasons, Cécile Bois wears terrible clothes, oversized ... why?

Opening episode. Consitently told how wonderfule and beautiful she is children, friends. Well, no: families do not behave like this. If anything, the Mother should not need constant reassurance from her children. Very very poor continuity. She's a lawyer, wears the same outfit for the whole week. Before Joey Star complements her on her cooking, they should have panned away from the instant spaghetti. She does nothing, washing, cooking, shopping. Which begs the question, who does all the housework? She doesn't have a clue for a lawyer. The imbecilic things she does. Husbands car numberplate, nope, not a clue, not a letter or number. Could be just poor continuity and directing. Too predictable and too much padding out. Two episodes required max.
I've just finished watching Gloria. And didnt mind it.but had nagging feeling the story line was very familiar to UK series Finding Faith. Was it adapted.
This is a six-episode miniseries from French TV, featuring a justifiably frazzled woman suddenly facing chaos on many fronts. Gloria (Cecile Bois) is a lawyer about to return from maternity leave after eight months at home with her third child. Her loving husband David (Michael Cohen) is also a partner in their firm. When he drives off to court one morning, she has no reason to feel anything but joy over their stable, successful life together.
But David vanishes. Accident? Foul play? Another woman? All possibilities are bounced around as Cecile's efforts to find out what happened spiral ever deeper down the proverbial rabbit hole. Old losses and grudges start emerging as her marriage, career, children and extended family either unravel, or become threatened. Or both. Gloria is smart and resourceful, but soon finds herself swamped from suddenly having to deal with problems and people beyond her ken.
Gloria has to quickly step in for David on a couple of cases, showing her professional brilliance, and making useful new friends of a couple of disreputable clients. Then her supposedly prospering firm turns out to be deeply in debt, and David's finances may have been entangled with some large-scale criminal activity, now putting their lives in unexpected danger. Added to all these destabilizing surprises is the involvement of a police detective zealously committed to nailing Gloria for everything in reach due to an episode in their legal history. Plus the suspense of an anonymous string-pulling villain even worse than the one she discovers to be the at the center of this crisis, Gaelle Brak (Anne Consigny). {Whew! I'm tired just from writing this paragraph.} That's a lot to unpack in six episodes, but they manage. If this summary seems familiar, that could be because Gloria is adapted from a 2017 British TV thriller, Keeping Faith, that ran for four years.
Even though Gloria and her kids face many threats - physical and otherwise - throughout, nothing occurs on-screen that's more graphic than our U. S. prime-time crime dramas. Actually, less so. We mostly see Gloria in various degrees of desperation and frustration as she pounces on each clue or lead, often unwisely, and frequently aggravating her situation.
Bois' performance as a woman suddenly under incredible stress due to no fault of her own is suitably exhausting to watch. We really feel her desperation and empathize with her scattershot reactions. Many may question her judgment at times, but we remain firmly in her corner. Because she's constantly having to respond to new surprises coming from all directions, the series carries considerable intensity over to its audience. Two arguable flaws come to mind. Gloria may be blindsided too many times in too many ways for some viewers' patience. And the most intriguing character of the lot is Consigny's calmly understated local crime boss, who deserved more screen time than allotted.
Bottom line - good for a binge, when you're craving ramped-up suspense.
