I love this movie so much

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

I hope there is a third season, I don't think I could live without it. The storyline is so unexpected and moving. It is like life. You can understand what is going on in the characters and they seem to have cast the best actors in the world. I feel the Sergeant's sorrow and yet you also feel her strength when she walks into work or into a situation that could be the end of everything. Makes me want to be like her. More, please, more.

Incredibly heartfelt. A true binge-worthy series. Each characters narrative is so multifaceted.. you hate the antagonist yet you feel for him.. you love the heroine yet she makes you truely angry. The creator of this series understands the human spirit in all its complexities and that good/evil can and never will exist in a vacuum.

Raw edged, thrilling and engaging. Drenched in the local Yorkshire area, the characters seem to come all natural, ripped out of real life, full of human strengths and weaknesses. The story line has, for me, the right balance between rate of evolution and depth. This combination really has me engaged. Side note: season two has a couple of weak characters, rendering it lees interesting than season one.

Happy Valley is a big Hit in Australia, we don't like crap American TV. Sassy Sarah deserves an acting award for her gritty, strong, emotional and admiral copper. Wonderful, gripping, edge of the seat story line, this lady should be in "Line of Duty", best copper series by far, cheers.
