Happy Valley

[Not Heidi]

"At the center of the story is police sergeant Catherine Cawood, a middle-aged, tough-as-nails woman with a tragic backstory and an itch for revenge. She’s played by Sarah Lancashire who, I must say, gives one of the best performances of any actor I’ve seen on any television show in my entire life. I cannot properly express the sheer brilliance of Lancashire’s work on this show. Her range is extraordinary."

So writes Erik Kain of Forbes. I agree with him.

Sarah Lancashire became one of my favorites as I watched Last Tango in Halifax, which also showcases her skill and sincerity amid a fun and very talented cast. (Do watch this comedy/drama, which has the added bonus of Nicola Walker.)

There are only three seasons, but I know you will enjoy them.

Thanks to Erik Kain for finding the words I couldn't.

2. I wholeheartedly agree.

I’ve said it myself that her work on that show is the best I’ve seen.

4. Currently on Acorn, a British service

I first watched it, though, on Netflix. It's no longer there, but maybe it'll come back to Netflix.

Meantime, here's a link to Acorn's 7-day free trial. It's one of those where you have to put in your CC info, but of course you can cancel before the paid subscription ($6.99/mo) kicks in. Also, as Happy Valley has only three seasons, one week is plenty of time to watch it all.

Sorry it took me so long to answer. Hope you get to enjoy the show.

OH -- You can also see Lancashire in Last Tango in Halifax on Netflix. Comedy/drama, highly entertaining. The characters portrayed are strikingly realistic. A great show.
