BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

rkelliott-653-550617 Sarah Lancashire is truly the most incredible actress and this role is a tour de force. Just brilliant television all round. As a Brit I actually feel really proud that we can make television of this quality. The setting and characters are so authentic and realistic. Highly recommended.

jameshughes1981 I loved how this series combined edge of the seat drama with a bit of Yorkshire down to earth charm. Sarah Lancashire plays the lead brilliantly well. There are several linked subplots and I was quite sad to see it all end.A few reviews on here touch on how the male characters were all portrayed badly. Well I'm as anti-feminist as anyone but I genuinely didn't feel that. There are numerous flawed female characters as well as males, and I don't feel writers should ever feel obliged to gender balance the nastiness!

grandmabrat 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.

thewordshark-11097 Gritty story telling, superb acting, and a realism that grips you without letting go, Happy Valley is compelling TV.
