The British import spreads its wings in its second go round, following the tight case that propelled Season 1 into one of the greatest surprises... and it's as great as ever.

TV drama doesn't get better than this.
May 16, 2017
Wainwright layers her stories like a tightly structured, best-selling thriller, so as well as the hunt for the murderer, now identified as a serial killer, other interlinked secondary plots are introduced.
February 10, 2016
The plot is already full of suspense and possibilities. Performances were uniformly excellent.
May 16, 2017
The nuances of these intricate family profiles are played with superb subtlety by Lancashire and Finneran.

Revisiting the series and overcoming the early obstacles was, indeed, rewarding. Not every plot twist is original or even believable, but the second season only solidifies how impressive the whole Happy Valley world is.

Above all else, it's Lancashire's performance that makes Happy Valley tick. At various stages of the series she is left bruised and hysterical, and you feel every single emotion along with her.
March 21, 2016
At its core, Happy Valley reminds us of how wonderfully flawed we all are.
May 08, 2016
In some ways, Happy Valley is a cousin to The Fall, another very worthy British drama about the criminal-detective dance.

As with the first season, the stories keep tiptoeing up to cliché before shuffling into more interesting and complicated emotional territory.
