Tv show similar to happy valley ?

[sunseaandme]

Am very late to the party and binge watched happy valley this week (all three seasons) and wow I loved it!! I also love line of duty. Is there a show that is based in UK centred around the police that is worth watching?? Bonus if there are a lot of episodes to keep me busy. Also I've seen a lot of UK bbc drama type shows but I'm sure there are lots I've missed so feel free to suggest those too

Broadchurch.
I'm rewatching Spooks at the moment- not police, but Mi5 and of the same calibre as HV and LoD.
Unforgotten.
Life on Mars.
Luther. (gets a bit unbelievable but still pretty good TV)

Unforgotten is great. It’s on ITVX

I liked The Capture and First Responder - BBC iplayer.

Would recommend the responder too. Not quite the same thing, but I enjoyed the Criminal series on Netflix with Katherine Kelly in it too.

Vera is good too; slower paced that LoD and Happy Valley but with some lovely scenery

The Fall - Netflix
Line of duty - BBC
The Bay - ITV

The Fall is a bit darker but was really good!

Second all of So1invictus’ s recommendations .
You might enjoy No Offence, with the lovely Joanna Scanlan . It has something of the bluntness of Catherine Cawood in her finest moments ….

The Fall is really worth watching. I'd put it up here with HV and LoD. Less so The Bay and Unforgotten although they are worth a watch.

Not UK based, but Mare of East Easttown was supposedly inspired by Happy Valley and is very good.

...PP have mentioned, plus Grace (series 3 just started)

Series 1 and 2 in complete on ITVX plus the one episode of Series 3

Ooh I loved Happy Valley

Other series I love include

unforgotten
The Fall
you don’t know me (I loved this)
Top Boy

Good Cop is available on Alibi. I loved it when it came out.
