On paper this might seem like a run-of-the-mill procedural but it is not! The episodes are character-driven, intelligent, & emotionally intense. Seemingly small choices by the director & cast & writers will surprise you and make this narrative very satisfying. The sound editing is superb. The cinematography is chilling. The acting is A)believeable and B)top-notch. I will be adding the director, producer, actors, and studio to my must-watch list. Wow.

I'm familiar with Sarah Lawrence from so many other BBC series. Happy Valley is great to watch when I can finally get the episodes offered consecutive. Must be a local station director messing episodes up. (SLC, UTAH)
