Happy Valley (2014–2023)
9/10
Ironclad and thrilling first season
2 November 2017
Raw edged, thrilling and engaging. Drenched in the local Yorkshire area, the characters seem to come all natural, ripped out of real life, full of human strengths and weaknesses. The story line has, for me, the right balance between rate of evolution and depth. This combination really has me engaged. Side note: season two has a couple of weak characters, rendering it lees interesting than season one.

If you like S01/S02, don't start on S03...

The first season is a very extensive and amazing version of the movie. Of course there are parts added, but it is fully in the spirit of the movie, and very well written. The second season was a continuation of the first season, as if it was one ongoing story. However, about season III: wow. I think it's somewhat like the Godfather (comparison ends as is): part I is an epic tale, part II is rather good too, but season III is just the worst. What the f*** happened?! This is nothing like the first two seasons: the acting is (very!) cheap, the story is fully not connecting to the previous story, it's just... too simple. As if the budget was cut by 90%. This is like a new series trying to lift by on the success of the first two seasons. I just can't find the right words for how terrible this is... Like Scrubs: if you liked the first seasons, as I did very much, do not watch the last (/latest) season!!
