New BBC series Lost Boys and Fairies has officially left some viewers ‘broken’ after the emotional drama series dropped earlier this month. The three-part drama, which is filmed in Wales and was inspired by events in real life , follows the story of a same-sex couple who adopt a son in a bid to start a family. Critics have poured praise over the series, which stars likes of Sion Daniel Young, Fra Fee, and Elizabeth Berrington , and now BBC viewers are understanding why.
On Twitter, @simon_dukey said: ‘Well Lost Boys and Fairies has broken me. The early night I’d planned went right out the window as soon as I hit play on episode one.’ He continued: ‘Pretty much cried the whole time.
What an incredibly moving, brilliantly acted, utterly superb piece of drama.’ Elsewhere, other viewers shared similar experiences, explaining how the series, which was created by Welsh playwright Daf James, left them sobbing on the sofa. Twitter use @IamBagsy commented: ‘Lost Boys and Fairies is one of the best things I’ve seen in a long time.
I’m an emotional mess. Funny, dark but more importantly real.’ They heaped further praise on the series’ decision to use the traditional Welsh language in the series: ‘Lovely to normalise the use of the Welsh language in mainstream drama too.
I would recommend.’ Speaking to the BBC , Mike and Tony, a same-sex couple from Wales who adopted their son when he was four years old, revealed how the true-to-life story left them feeling. �.
