Happy Valley


If I wasn't enjoying it I wouldn't have binged the lot.

I'd just read my post back and picked myself up on the wording. Tend not to watch a great deal of dramas as we're all fighting for the TV anyway.

The daftness.
they've just allowed a convicted killer, a killer of police no less, to escape from the dock of a crown court
. It doesn't really get any dafter than that although I do appreciate you need to suspend belief with these things.
It does have a tendency to go beyond the realms of belief. I thought the first four episodes of the first season were incredible, really gritty edge of your seat stuff, then it went a bit Hollywood. That’s not to say I’m not enjoying it, because it’s better than a lot of tv, but it’s a bit of a shame it loses the grounded in reality aspect.

I hope it doesn’t shit the bed and go all Line of Duty for the final episodes.

Oh yes I understand. When I am watching something in a drama, especially something to do with my job and it just patently wouldn't happen, I tend to yell scornfully at the telly. My other half does an eye roll and reminds me it's not a documentary!

Our tv would be very dull if programmes were absolutely technically accurate.

Artistic licence is needed to make things more entertaining.

if anything needs improving it’s the glut of reality Tv and soap operas.

But people love them so they will continue to be made.
 
Sat and watched both series back to back yesterday, didn't get to bed until after 1.30am this morning ffs :lol:.
All I can say is it was superb, gripping stuff and very intense (especially when she's trying to rescue Ann from the basement) and the kicking she got was f***ing horrifying (I did cheer when she got to stomp him on the houseboat a bit mind 😎).
Loved it and I'm chuffed to hear there's going to be a third series (but they'll be like 6/7 years in the future, Ryan will have grown up and Catherine will probably have left the police force by then unless she's got a cushy desk job).
Am I wrong to think that Tommy was hot (looks wise), especially in series 1 :confused::lol:.
Oh and there was only sue missing because I'm fairly sure that was Rita and Bob in that anarl ;)
Think this will be mine and the missussussusss next series to watch.
