Happy Valley - similar shows

[RooDaisy]

I'm new to the Happy Valley party and have watched both series over 2 days and have really enjoyed it.

Any recommendations for anything similar?

Sarah Lancashire is brilliant!!

[lastqueenofscotland]

Broadchurch - the first series.

[LolBeansandSalad]

Last Tango In Halifax is from the same writer but it's not exactly gritty drama

Line of Duty?

[RooDaisy]

last queen
I've seen it, it was really good, I couldn't get into the second series

[RooDaisy]

Oooh, I might give line of duty a go. I think I saw half of the first series

[LolBeansandSalad]

Give LOD another go, series two and three with Keeley Hawes were fab

[RooDaisy]

lol I've just loaded it up on Netflix and was just about to ask, do I need to watch 1 too?

[LolBeansandSalad]

The end of series one reveals who 'the Caddy' is, which is the recurring theme through the series, but no- if I recall correctly, two and three have their own stand alone storylines, I reckon you could pick up from there if you wanted to

[Purpleprickles]

Agree Line of Duty, it's brilliant and I still miss it now. The last episode of the last series had me screeching at the tv.

Hinterland.

Scott and Bailey by same writing/production team - more light weight than HV though.

[southeastdweller]

Unforgiven. Same writer and almost as gritty as HV. Suzanne Jones is in it.

Thanks! I'm going to give unforgiven a go today
