"'Faithless' (Virgin Media One) 4/5 In the end, it's not really the hope that kills you, it's the hype. That squeaking sound heard all over Ireland last week was the air escaping from the hype balloon after episode one of The Walsh Sisters aired on RTÉ One."
"While it's not entirely fair to judge a series on its first instalment (as my colleague Ann-Marie Hourihane pointed out in her review last week), the dominant opinion, not least among fans of Marian Keyes's popular source novels, seems to be that RTÉ has dropped the ball on this one."
"Have you tried Focail and Conundrum? Daily word puzzles designed to test your vocabulary and lateral thinking skills."
The Walsh Sisters first episode aired on RTÉ One and generated visible disappointment as initial hype deflated across Ireland. The series Faithless on Virgin Media One received a 4/5 notation alongside commentary about the inflated expectations. Many viewers, including fans of Marian Keyes's novels, judged the adaptation harshly and felt RTÉ failed to deliver on the source material. Caution about judging a series solely on its inaugural episode is noted, but prevailing sentiment remained critical. Separate content promotes Focail and Conundrum daily word puzzles for vocabulary and lateral thinking practice.
