It's rare that you get such good casting, writing and directing on a TV show. Everything about this episode stands out and the threads that have been carefully woven since the start of this series really come together in this episode. It's tense and engrossing from start to finish. You know what it's all building towards but it's still a shock when it happens. It's a testament to the incredible storytelling that's the hallmark of Happy Valley.
I hope they keep making more but it appears that this is going to be one of those gems that favour quality over quantity. It certainly deserves to spawn at least one spin off, hopefully a prequel with Becky's story.
