Happy Valley

I’ve just re watched season 1 and 2 in anticipation, forgot how good it was .

Expecting a very intriguing final season.

Some of the best twists I have seen on TV have been in happy Valley, both season 1 and 2 were phenomenal twists that I really couldn't see coming at all

It is still to this day, the most violent drama that I've seen on TV.

It probably is, and I usually shy away from that kind of thing, but it’s very in context and real I guess.

I cried when I re-watched season one with the brutal attack on the young copper and later on the attack on the wonderful Catherine Cawood ( who is my hero, even though she’s not real ).
 
I’m definitely in. First two series were brilliant, although the last one seems like ages ago and I can’t remember how it ended! Love Sarah Lancashire.

I was shocked at the level that they took it to in series 1 but justified and not gratuitous.
 
There's an interview in one of the Sundays today with Siobhan Finneran ( who I find rather attractive) and is really interesting
 
So many good moments in it, the crematorium scene one was one of my favourites along with the tension when Catherine was confronted and beaten at TLR mothers house .
I'm a big fan of Siobhan Finneran, she's good in everything.
I don't think it can be as good as the first two but can't wait to watch it.

The scene in the last series, where the female officer was deliberately driven over twice by the horrible Tommy, was gut wrenching.
I really hope Catherine does him good and proper in this final series and he ends up 6 feet under 🫰

Think it was you who got me hooked on this Lala.
I thought season 1 was the better of the 2 to date, but S 2 was still very good.
Looking forward to it, and seeing how James Norton comes across. He's famous now, whereas iirc this was the series that made his career.?

He's played mostly good guys since HV, but he's a very good actor so I'm sure he'll be just as good in S3.

The first series made him yes, think he had done a few bits by the second series. Plays an evil nutter very very well.
 
Loved being back with it and a great first episode. It's that ominous music in the background I forgot about that puts you on edge from time to time. Brilliant.
 
Calder Valley was my old sales territory in my first job out of university, free trade sales for Webster's brewery. It always had a that strange air about it, particularly in winter when hillside pubs losing money would mysteriously catch fire. Places like Todmorden, Pecket Well, Mytholmroyd, Triangle, Lumbutts.

I know what you mean about that strange air. It has a beauty about it, but it’s a stark and cold beauty.

Omg Kirky yes, absolutely.

Get on iplayer and watch series 1 and 2 immediately! You will not regret.

Watched S1 episode 1 last night. Very good - a lot going on for a little town 😁 going to watch a few later, as we’re away for a few days in the Yorkshire Dales and it’s pissing it down!
 
I have just traumatised my 90 year old mother by watching series one and two with her over xmas, she likes Sarah Lancashire. She lives in the West Yorkshire area as well. I had seen them before I think. I will watch the new series when I get a moment.

I binged the first series yesterday, after reading this thread. It’s a great series.
I remember seeing the ads for it when it was first on, and thinking it was some kind of happy, idyllic, rural story. Wow! 😮

* Having a good friend from Ovenden, I had to laugh when Sarah Lancashire said “Have you got an Ovenden door key in the car?”, and the guy brought out the door ram 😂

Yep, exactly the same. Only watched one so far - hope the girl is okay! Pretty gripping stuff

Really enjoying this… the guy who plays the accountant - we cant’t work out what we’ve seen him in before?
