Late to the party, but started watching the first series last night. First one was quite good.

First series was very good - unlike the second

 

[Nathccfc]

I think the same, 1st one was great, 2nd weren't as good, apparently a 3rd is in the pipeline

 

[Nick]

Only seen the first episode

First season was very good. Second one was rather ridiculous.

Agree with this about the bonkers second series - I think they were trying too hard to mimic the success of the Scandinavian detective dramas which were brilliant in their slow unfolding, atmospheric settings and pain-staking police work.

Have to say though I'm finding BBC's Happy Valley compulsive viewing and Hugh Laurie's menacing baddie in The Night Manager pretty damn brilliant.

Loved the first series of Happy Valley, haven't started the second yet!

Yep, loving the Night Manager. Both Laurie and Hiddleston are brilliant and Olivia Coleman is always good.

First episode last Sunday. 9 pm. 6 episodes I think.

Grab it on iPlayer.

Well worth it I would say.

Just clocked who it was, as son as that woman with the dog said it was the guy, there's another bloke who is the spit...

 

[Nick]

Yep it was him!

Really enjoyed Happy Valley 1st time round. However after 4 episodes of the second, I'm finding it a bit slow going! Isn't half as gripping.

Is it not as good? The first series was quite tense, haven't started the 2nd yet.

Not half as good. The main character whose name escapes me (Raquel from Corrie) said herself she wasn't sure a second series was a wise move but caved in after talking with the writer. Should have stuck to her guns I think.

Last episode that was on on Tuesdsy was by far the better (and the very last clip in the one before **bang bang**)

Looks like it's being left open for a third series
