Happy Valley Tv Drama

[emmie]

this was very good, if you didn't watch it, perhaps do a catch up,
thoroughly engrossing, with excellent performances and script

I watched it on the iplayer. I thought that the plot is very well written. If only the bad language could be toned down a bit, it would be more acceptable viewing for me. I see no need for that kind of dialogue, which adds nothing to the plot.

[emmie]

not sure i agree, this is supposed to be fairly true to life, well put together

[bookbinder]

Despite my comment regarding the bad language, I shall watch the following episodes, because it is simply an entertaining, and, as you say, emmie, thoroughly engrossing drama.

[emmie]

much better than say Broadchurch which had rave reviews,
Sally Wainwright of Scott and Bailey, and Last Tango in Halifax, so has some pedigree, i will watch the rest, i did think it one of the better things on tv of late

didn;t see that

[bookbinder]

It certainly seems that, if Sally Wainwright's name is attached to a tv drama, that is a guarantee of good viewing.

As an ex-copper and a tyke I found it pretty well true to life.

[emmie]

not sure that is the case, she has written some corkers, Scott and Bailey is one of my favourites.

[emmie]

she is compelling, watchable, i loved the opening sequence of the lovelorn drunk bloke.
