Unforgotten continues to be a hit despite casting upheaval and a new DCI at the head of the cold case division. However, series creator Chris Lang has managed to keep the show humming along, and the arrival of DCI Jessie James (Sinead Keenan) helped the series ratings soar to even
Happy Valley
If you think about it, Happy Valley has sort of been like Heat, just more Northern and less neon. Stay with me here: they’re both dramas about the exhaustive effects of pursuit, how justice and crime become so ingrained they harm all your relationships, and have a hero and
Happy Valley

Happy Valley
Season 2 of the celebrated Yorkshire police drama Happy Valley starts as it means to go on: with Sergeant Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) absolutely worn out. Over a cuppa with her sister Clare (Siobhan Finneran), she recounts an escapade with a kidnapped sheep rampaging across town pursued by local dogs
