      Ben Pobjie The Age (Australia) From its inception, Happy Valley stood out in the crowded crime drama field, and in its third season it reaches a pinnacle few programs manage. Its triumph is keeping a multi-stranded narrative grounded in a reality that never feels less than credible. Rated: 4.5/5 Mar 14, 2024 Full Review Peter Travers ABC News Even if Emmy stupidly refuses to cover this brilliant British crime drama in awards glory, don’t miss the final chapter in this groundbreaking series and Sarah Lancashire, the Category 5 hurricane of an actress who gives a performance for the ages. Jul 7, 2023 Full Review Sophie Gilbert The Atlantic With Happy Valley, we also got Catherine: fearless, moody, perceptive, abrasive, indispensable. The show makes no apologies for her... She’s flawed, and she’s riveting. One last outing with her is a gift. May 30, 2023 Full Review Akhil Arora AkhilArora.com The off-screen dedication to its cast is matched by the on-screen power of a mother and a grandmother trying to do right by her family, her city, and herself. No wonder things boil over. (I mean, it’s also the final season.) Dec 22, 2023 Full Review Oli Welsh Polygon The season goes for the dramatic jugular, and if it doesn’t quite tie its subplots together as satisfyingly... that’s balanced by the Shakespearean dimensions of the storyline that brings Cawood, her family, and Royce together one last time. May 31, 2023 Full Review Alison Lanier Pajiba It’s the kind of show where you could half-watch in the background and follow a tense and intriguing plot -- but you’d be missing the heart of the show, its tics and hesitations, its real unspoken tenacity.

      Jorn L Absolutely amazing all over. The writing, the acting. sublime. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/04/24 Full Review Nigel F You'd think a few years away that there may be a dip in quality - thankfully not. They needed to revisit this, I would have preferred a better final showdown, but this was still excellent Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/24 Full Review Barbara F OMG! I often lose patience with series after the 1st or 2nd episode and then skip to the end, but every episode and every scene holds important information that drives the story forward. I couldn't help but watch it all...the series was wonderful! And James Norton, former vicar of Grandchester, did a superlative job of portraying a truly creepy villain. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Ross M Absolutely one of the best series I've ever seen. Fantastic story line, acting and premise. Sarah Lancashire is outstanding throughout! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/24/23 Full Review Rixie Season worth waiting for. Character development not always in ways you'd wish for which made it even more engaging to watch as the story unravel. I'm dreaming of continuation of Catherine's adventures but she needs well deserved rest. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/12/23 Full Review Mark P Always hard to keep the quality going knowing the series is coming to an end. I know some people were unhappy with the way it finished but I thought it was good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
