I'm halfway through it already. Has a bit of a Fargo vibe but not as quirky. Acting is excellent. Love it so far.

Good series.. but a couple of pretty brutal scenes later on. You were warned.

Re: "Happy Valley" - Acclaimed BBC crime drama hits Netflix (20/08/14)
 

Yeah, it's a great series.

I noticed this showed up last night when I was perusing the lists. Never heard of it before, but I love BBC shows, so I'll check it out sometime. I still have a lot of others to catch up on, including the underrated Wallander.

You mean the brits aren't doing a TV show about Penn State?

On the 3rd episode, I like it

Re: "Happy Valley" - Acclaimed BBC crime drama hits Netflix (20/08/14)
 

Yep- We are now 3 episodes in and it just keeps getting better- this is a fantastic show- highly recommended...

Re: "Happy Valley" - Acclaimed BBC crime drama hits Netflix (20/08/14)
 

Finished it. Excellent show, great writing, characters, acting, no unnecessary red herrings, twists or side stories. The female lead, Sarah Lancashire, is awesome. Can't wait for series 2.

Binged watched it last Sunday; slow to start but really intense by the 4th episode. Hopefully, they have another season.

Re: "Happy Valley" - Acclaimed BBC crime drama hits Netflix (20/08/14)
 

Yep- we are on episode 5 and it just keeps getting better and better...

I will look for a link, but I swear I read that it was getting a 2nd season...

"'Happy Valley' Renewed for Season Two by BBC Ahead of U.S. Netflix Premiere" (Aug 18)

This was great, she totally reminded me a bit of Dirty Harry.

Liked it a lot and eps 4, 5, 6 were excellent.

Re: "Happy Valley" - Acclaimed BBC crime drama hits Netflix (08/20/14)
 

We just finished this as well- that was one of the best seasons (even at only 6 episodes) of any show we have seen in a long time.

Absolutely fantastic- thrilled that there is going to be another season, but man, do they have a tough act to follow- going to be hard to ever top that story.

Re: "Happy Valley" - Acclaimed BBC crime drama hits Netflix (08/20/14)
 

I liked the unpredictability of it but in the end I found this to be very good, not great.

Re: "Happy Valley" - Acclaimed BBC crime drama hits Netflix (08/20/14)
 

Liked it but the last two episodes were a little disappointing compared to the stellar four that preceded them. I was glued to the television and then you reach episode 5 and it's just...eh.

The ending was a bit boring as well.

Re: "Happy Valley" - Acclaimed BBC crime drama hits Netflix (08/20/14)
 

The second season was added to Netflix today.

re: Happy Valley - Acclaimed BBC crime drama
 

I binged watched the first series yesterday. Very good series. Started strong, ended slow, but still strong.

Looking forward to series 2.
