Happy Valley (2014)

Happy Valley (2014) — Crime / Drama / Thriller Catherine Cawood is a tough, no-nonsense police sergeant working out of a rural West Yorkshire station. When a flustered accountant walks in to report a crime, what begins as a staged kidnapping quickly spirals into a brutal chain of events that draws Catherine into an investigation far bigger than her rank — and dangerously close to home. Viewers can expect a gritty, atmospheric crime drama that blends procedural sleuthing with an intense, character-driven story. The series delivers slow-burn tension and sudden, shocking moments of violence, intimate emotional scenes, and moral complexity as Catherine fights to protect her community while confronting personal stakes. If you like hard-edged thrillers with strong lead performances, realistic police work, and an unsettling, suspenseful tone, Happy Valley will be gripping and emotionally affecting.
