The GRIPPING opening scene of Happy Valley Series 3 | BBC

[@Heidi123]

Sarah Lancashire is one of Britain's best actresses. She really makes this series and is the best choice for the role...outstanding.

It was a very good show but I always watch Sarah Lancashire.

[@merrillbryans9260]

I agree, she’s the best actor ive seen by miles,

[@queent3343]

@@alanhall2795 Sad you feel that way. She was great as Julia Childs in the HBO Max show. She's great in this. Especially the scenes with James Norton in the first season. And in Last Tango in Halifax. All very different roles. Love Olivia Coleman as well.

[@paullacey748]

She is one of the best actresses in GB, but she is acting the dialogue written by one of the best writers. Great combination

[@bertcuthbert6332]

Really she is a fair actress and the writing is appalling.

[@Catsmeow90]

I can not wait! I was a neighbour of Sarah Lancashire back in the day in Oldham. and she was a lovely down to earth lady.. I am very much looking forward to watching her shine again in this drama.

[@petarpan5886]

I can watch Scott and Bailey and Happy Valley every day. Doctor Foster, Line of Duty, Bodyguard... Gentleman Jack. English series and English actors are by far the best. Hollywood could never make series like this. Outstanding by Sara🇷🇸 Big Respect❤

[@skoolguardian]

That's exactly what I think. All those are my favorite tv shows, and I'm watching the Welsh tv series Hidden (Craith).

[@monster5455]

Hoping this comes back to the US. We can’t get enough of Sarah and this series

[@jcs3330]

I remember seeing the TV trailers for this drama back in 2014. I then decided that it probably wasn't my cup of tea, thinking it was about a bobby in the countryside. How wrong I was!. I recently watched S1, Ep1 and was completely hooked by Sarah's acting and character role and the clever story line. I ended up watching S1, S2 back to back and am now on S3!. Excellent written drama.

[@paulbradford8240]

I was exactly the same. Fed up with Police programs that were so inaccurate (speaking as an ex-Police Officer). I don't remember it at the time, but would have dismissed it due to the title. My wife began watching season three, having seen the first two. I was sitting next to her, trying to read. I began watching and was hooked. Afterwards, I watched series one and two in the week before the next episode of series three. Brilliant, accurate drama. Great writing by Sally Wainwright and superb acting by the cast.

[@Pintorina1]

Best opening scene EVER! Kudos to Sarah Lancashire for smashing it! If only we all had coppers on the beat like her around the world! And massive kudos to Sally Wainwright for excelling as the writer and Director of this outstanding series! Missing it already!

[@louisehine1]

Sarah… not Sally.

[@stepheneldridge6998]

Sarah Lancashire is outstanding...just brilliant. And Happy Valley is such a gripping and brilliant series...so well written and acted! Cheers, Steve

The sound of Catherine's voice, regardless of what she's actually saying, is sweet music to my ears. Credit to the divine Sarah Lancashire and her absolute command of character portrayal. Even if she grabbed me by the lapels and pushed me into a wall, and telling me off, I'd be swooning, I swear.

What we love about the best british shows is that they often have a single writer. Sally Wainwright can only write so much in a finite amount of time. She's not a writing robot. I'll take quality over quantity. I'm just surprised and delighted to see, after a long hiatus, that there IS a 3rd series.
