Critic Reviews for Happy Valley: Season 2
All Critics (23) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (23) | Rotten (0)
The plot is already full of suspense and possibilities. Performances were uniformly excellent.
In some ways, Happy Valley is a cousin to The Fall, another very worthy British drama about the criminal-detective dance.
TV drama doesn't get better than this.
Yet, once again, the more lurid moments are constantly offset - and sometimes combined - with some neat comedy and plenty of deft humanising touches.
There really isn't time to go into what makes Happy Valley's second series so incredible. Just know this: it is flawless.
The second season of Happy Valley is now over... it's been so excellent.
