HAPPY VALLEY

This is an excellent British crime series. First season 2014. Second season 2016. Third season is in the ether someplace even though we’re assured there will be a 3rd season after a six-year wait. Even told they’re filming this year.
So annoying because the third season is needed to finish the show. Why start something you don’t finish? Have there been other shows that disappeared before the end? |

Yeah,loads of them. It's called US network TV. :D
Did you ever watch HV? Terrific show. The NY Times was raving about the show at one time. Until I pointed out to the columnist that the darn thing has been hanging in the air forever. The columnist said this was ok & it was still a good show. :rolleyes: |
I watched the first series and enjoyed it, but was kind of done after that.
Once I realized that we were going to
WARNING: spoilers below
see more of the rapist/killer character in the next series I just lost interest.
I thought that the performances were really strong (I still can't look at or watch James Norton in, well, anything), and that it managed to walk the line pretty well between impactful violence and stuff that felt more exploitative. I have to say, though, that personally I am not a big fan of police/detective movies or shows where the detective/officer has a personal connection to the case. It always feels a bit contrived, even when done well. |

Fair enough. I beg to differ: I loved it & waited, in vain, for its 3rd season conclusion.
But the frequency of disturbing stuff in it (like the sadistic rapes) was a bit much for me. I hope you get your third season! |
Re: HAPPY VALLEY
^ There is a third series on the way, finished filming last month.
I wasn't there but they were filming at a location about two miles from me, so it's definitely coming. ;)

They had about four series planned and it got axed after two... lots of things unanswered. :( I don’t have a problem with a series ending, tie up the loose ends, etc., etc. But when a show ends BEFORE THE END it’s really annoying. |

Finally, pre-ordered season 3 from Amazon.co.uk. Seven years after season 2 ended, which is ridiculous. But, I need to rewatch seasons 1 & 2 & put this project to bed.

Done & dusted. Third season is the weakest of the series. Very good show.

Re: HAPPY VALLEY
I should watch this. Everyone says it's great. Unfortunately I'm just about to boycott the BBC given today's news.
