happy valley : Most liked Posts

I hate how after happy valley, it’s time for me to go to bed and face a full week of whatever work-related shit wigging out about Catherine’s life has distracted me from. Wish good telly wouldn’t air on Sunday nights

Saw this on FB

That scene was just the perfect ending 10/10, no notes, amazing. The way the character of Tommy was written - just so complex. When he walked into Ryan's bedroom and you see it through his eyes and almost feel sorry for him because he never had anything like that. Yet at the same time, he's still just a nasty, spiteful childlike thug

I did feel a wee bit short changed with how some other loose ends were tied up (or weren't really), and that Ann never got any closure

But still, what a great final episode

I'm thinking Ann Gallagher will have some sort of a showdown with Tommy. Her character has been a bit weird this series and I think it will be something to give her closure.

Evil Faisal
As much as I want the husband to go down, I do hope Faisal gets his just desserts for the things he’s done (one way or another).

Bloody love Evil Faisal. He's so much cooler now he's a calm collected murderer, much better than that bumbling idiot tripping over sheep like he was before

absolutely stunning finale! Thank you Sally Saw this tweet before…brilliant

If Catherine dies I will simply be complaining to off com. Or whoever you complain to! I’m still not over the ending of Unforgotton.

i found their kitchen argument quite funny at points and actually quite realistic. Rather than them beating the crap out of each other which isn’t really that realistic.

I was really satisfied with that ending. Very hard to please everyone but it was about Catherine and TLR primarily and he did have some kind of remorse. If he’d have lived and gone back to prison then it wouldn’t have felt like it ended.

They somehow managed to wrap everything up in that episode, yes it could’ve been another episode or so to do it, but the result would have been the same - the bad guys got their comeuppance and Ryan did finally understand what his dad was like he, plus got Claire and Catherine to reconcile.

The ‘what’s gonna happen to those 2 little girls’ ‘they’ve got a grandmother’ line really got me Such clever writing, which is why the show is so brilliant and why we’re all talking about it!

Now they just need another series of Line of Duty so I can feel more satisfied about that ending

You can’t argue with their acting. Absolutely superb.

I feel like no one is giving enough attention to how utterly ridiculous TLR looked wrapped in his little quilt playing on his PlayStation that he barely understands how to use
He is such a raging narcissist, his smile talking about how he’s on the news and telling the story of escaping
Ryan will surprise us all I think. There’s more to him than the gullible little idiot he seems to be at the moment.
Ann was awful to him. Fair enough telling him the truth but she was vile to him, he’s only a kid and he didn’t know any of that because no one deigned to tell him!

TELL HIM YOU LOVE HIM CATHERINE!!!! if she does die and she doesn’t say it to him I will sob.

They definitely did the right thing not releasing it all on the iPlayer at once. It's great to talk about it with other viewers and anticipate the next episode.

Though it's interesting because the BBC has said it sees streaming as the future, hence they commonly release new series as full boxsets but when it comes to big shows like Line of Duty and Happy Valley they stick to the once a week format. Shows it still works!

Straight in the newsies for a bottle of Prime .

I thought the writing (and obviously the acting) last night was sublime in the scenes with Catherine & Clare in the cafe and then Catherine & Ryan in the doorstep. Ryan mentioning his tea was getting cold and Catherine dismissing it because it was only stew! I’m definitely going to rewatch it. Sarah Lancashire deserves every accolade going.

James Norton was on Graham Norton last night and he told a story about how a woman once went up to him and said, “Ooh that Tommy Lee Royce. He sure makes my valley happy…”

Feel like the whole story with the weird Pharmacist was a waste of time tbh.

Tried to kill himself and Catherine tried to save him. That is actually a brilliant way to wrap this up

The 'Hello, I'm Tommy' in the back of the car had me howling!
