I've never watched even a single episode but I'm hearing so much praise for it now I'm thinking perhaps I missed something. Did I - and should I watch from the very beginning (if it's available)?
Yes, you really have missed something. If you start now you might just be able to watch all previous episodes before the last-ever one tonight at 9pm......
Last episode tonight. I would advise starting at series 1. Yes as Lik says all series available. I'm a bit in love with James Norton, but not his character in this. The acting is brilliant throughout.
naomi - if you're going to watch on iPlayer from the very beginning, be sure not to read any reviews of the final episode in tomorrow's newspapers, or click on any AB links !
I'm exactly the same naomi. I saw lken raving about it on here a few weeks ago and was looking for another program to watch so gave it a go. We watched the first 2 series and up to date of the third series I 2 weekends!
//If you start now you might just be able to watch all previous episodes before the last-ever one tonight at 9pm......//
And if you can't manage that before 9pm tonight you'll have to hibernate and read nothing until you've finished, it'll be everywhere after 10pm tonight!
Loved Happy Valley from the get go. James Norton was brilliant all those years ago & I think because he's been locked up we haven't seen much of his evilness in this series. Still worth watching.
They're actually talking about it now on my local radio station. Just mentioned that while Sarah Lancashire is getting most of the plaudits, Siobhan Finneran (who plays her sister) is also absolutely brilliant, too. I totally agree. The scenes between the two sisters are some of the best throughout the entire series.
