Happy Valley

[Howdy]

Bad acting bad CGI bad bad bad.

Oh no! That's a shame. Will give it a go though.

The Rig is abysmal-don’t waste your time.

My husband, who will happily sit through any old abysmal crap on TV, bailed before the end as it was too cack even for his incredibly low viewing standards!

I rewatched 1 and 2 after realising when reading here I had forgotten loads - finally up to date for tomorrow episode

Yes - the same for me.
I really enjoyed rewatching and don’t know why I didn’t rate it so highly st the time. I was completely enthralled this time round.
Such powerful performance from Sarah Lancashire and James Norton.

Thanks to this thread I am now into Clocking Off. Delighted that I have so many series to watch.
Thanks for the tip. I’d never heard of it before.

Clocking off is really good, so many well known faces on it! Would also recommend The Lakes, which I've just noticed has started streaming on ITVX!

Can anyone recommend any other BBC/ITV dramas that are worth a watch?

Like other posters, I have loved Line Of Duty, Unforgotten, Bodyguard, Time, The Split, Broadchurch. If you can find all of these - watch from the very start of the series.

I think Catherine will die at the end, probably saving Ryan and she will die in his arms. There is something about her ex-husband, there was a line she said to him last Sunday about never really knowing someone.

Dr Foster and that other show with Suranne Jones ( submarine one) in were both brilliant. Bapiste is really good too.

noooo don’t say that I really hope they don’t kill her off she’s been through so much she deserves a happy ending. I’ve a feeling Tommy might die somehow. It’s really the only way to give the characters and the audience closure. So they’re free of him for good. I hope it’s a happy ending I can’t deal with some big tragedy

The Fall (BBC) with Jamie Dornan , Gillian Anderson and a few other familiar faces
The Stranger, Safe and Stay Close are also quite good British dramas on Netflix

 

[ohdoris]

The Missing is also really good, I didn’t like series one but series two is fantastic. I’ve watched a lot of the series mentioned on here, but have now made a list to rewatch !! I really enjoy this thread

 

[Curly Top]

The Pact on BBC 1 was pretty good recently.

 

[capriallie]

Ahhh yes Dr Foster (especially the first series!) was fantastic!

I’m going to rewatch Clocking Off as I remember loving it at the time. Someone already mentioned Scott & Bailey (also written by Sally Wainwright and starring Amelia Bullmore who was the murdered Vicky in Happy Valley).

I hope I'm wrong of course but as soon as she mentioned retirement and the Himalayas within minutes of episode one, all the alarm bells started. And she looks so exhausted too, eaten up by the memory of her daughter. Where else can that go. I'm sick of jumping at the dreadlocks purple tongue girl so I can't imagine how tired she is from it.

The nest - BBC

 

[IGiveUp22]

I think it might make us think she’s died but then show her doing her retirement plan in the van. I think TLR might die & I think Ryan might do it to save Catherine…I don’t want anyone to die other than TLR

Yeah, I'll be gutted if she dies, she deserves her retirement but I do have a feeling someone will die though.

Talking of UK crime series does anyone remember 'murder in mind' from the early 2000's on BBC? Used to be on a Saturday night! A different storyline each week....omg i need to find it!
