Happy Valley Season 1

What BollyAI Thinks

Series 1 aired on BBC One in spring 2014, earning 96 percent on Rotten Tomatoes from 26 critics and an 83 on Metacritic. It won the BAFTA for Best Drama Series in 2015. Sarah Lancashire's Catherine Cawood - a police sergeant holding herself together through routine and dark humour while dealing with personal catastrophe - was immediately identified as one of the great characters in British television. Critics noted that Sally Wainwright's writing resisted procedural convention: the series is less interested in the mechanics of crime than in how violence radiates through a community and what it costs people who absorb it professionally. HitFix called it 'so effective at what it sets out to do, and so neat in fitting all its pieces together.' The Calderdale landscape became a character in itself.
