Ben Pobjie The Age (Australia) From its inception, Happy Valley stood out in the crowded crime drama field, and in its third season it reaches a pinnacle few programs manage. Its triumph is keeping a multi-stranded narrative grounded in a reality that never feels less than credible. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 14, 2024 Full Review Peter Travers ABC News Even if Emmy stupidly refuses to cover this brilliant British crime drama in awards glory, don’t miss the final chapter in this groundbreaking series and Sarah Lancashire, the Category 5 hurricane of an actress who gives a performance for the ages. Jul 7, 2023 Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic With Happy Valley, we also got Catherine: fearless, moody, perceptive, abrasive, indispensable. The show makes no apologies for her... She’s flawed, and she’s riveting. One last outing with her is a gift. May 30, 2023 Full Review Akhil Arora AkhilArora.com The off-screen dedication to its cast is matched by the on-screen power of a mother and a grandmother trying to do right by her family, her city, and herself. No wonder things boil over. (I mean, it’s also the final season.) Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Oli Welsh Polygon The season goes for the dramatic jugular, and if it doesn’t quite tie its subplots together as satisfyingly... that’s balanced by the Shakespearean dimensions of the storyline that brings Cawood, her family, and Royce together one last time. May 31, 2023 Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba It’s the kind of show where you could half-watch in the background and follow a tense and intriguing plot -- but you’d be missing the heart of the show, its tics and hesitations, its real unspoken tenacity.

Temujain J Season One was a masterpiece, Season Two was a very good one, not as good as One but still very good. Season Three was totally unnecessary, bad plot, still top notch acting, but not convincing in any moment. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Michael T Epic final season, loved the fact that they waited a few years to film it so they wouldn't have to change actors. I genuinely avoided Happy Valley for an age, and then after watching another programme Happy Valley auto started on the app so I thought sod it I'll give it 20 minutes, by the end of 10 I was hooked Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/24 Full Review Jorn L Absolutely amazing all over. The writing, the acting. sublime. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Nigel F You'd think a few years away that there may be a dip in quality - thankfully not. They needed to revisit this, I would have preferred a better final showdown, but this was still excellent Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Barbara F OMG! I often lose patience with series after the 1st or 2nd episode and then skip to the end, but every episode and every scene holds important information that drives the story forward. I couldn't help but watch it all...the series was wonderful! And James Norton, former vicar of Grandchester, did a superlative job of portraying a truly creepy villain. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Ross M Absolutely one of the best series I've ever seen. Fantastic story line, acting and premise. Sarah Lancashire is outstanding throughout!
