What To Watch: Happy Valley


If you haven't heard about BBC One's drama series Happy Valley, then you're missing out.
Episode 4 of the six part series aired on Tuesday 20th May and it was a real shocker. However, don't worry, we won't spoil the episode for you if you decide to pick up watching the series.

Happy Valley follows Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire), an officer at a West Yorkshire police station. Throughout the episodes you are shown various Happy Valley residents, some with shady pasts and hidden secrets. The real triumph of the show is not just regarding its plot or presentation, but the performance Sarah Lancashire gives as Catherine Cawood. She brings gritty realism to the character and breathes life into Catherine's complex and troubled story line. Other notable performances include Steve Pemberton as Kevin Weatherill and James Norton as Tommy Lee Royce.


Already being tipped for BAFTA nominations next year, Happy Valley is a show that you'll definitely want to catch up on if you enjoy suspenseful, well written drama with intricately layered characters.

Happy Valley episode 5 airs 27th May.
