“Happy Valley,” which premièred in the U.S. nine years ago, is an unusually intimate crime drama premised on the observation that it is women who have to clean up and live with the messes that men so thoughtlessly make.
On a misty, windswept day in Brontë country, Sergeant Catherine Cawood , the protagonist of “Happy Valley,” makes the kind of arrest that sets her apart from other TV cops. After entering a blood-soaked farmhouse, she elicits—softly but persistently—a murder confession from Alison , the fortysomething mother of a maladjusted adult son.
Bucolic fields and damp, rolling hills serve as the backdrop for Catherine’s many drives, as she zips through rural Yorkshire in her squad car to save dangerously bored yobs from themselves. Comparisons to the movie “Fargo” seem apt, and not just because the characters often look as if they’re freezing despite their heavy jackets ; every once in a while, Catherine encounters ordinary shit-heels whose grubby selfishness gets them into situations that quickly veer beyond their control.
