The latest episode of Happy Valley didn't disappoint with fans describing it as the "fastest hour of the week" and praising it for the levels of tension writer Sally Wainwright has created. Episode two of the final series of the popular BBC crime drama saw Sergeant Catherine Cawood find out about her grandson's secret. Ryan, now 16, has been keeping in touch with his evil father Tommy Lee Royce in prison behind Catherine's back.
The betrayal hits even harder once she finds out it was her sister Clare Cartwright and Clare's boyfriend Neil Ackroyd who have been taking Ryan to Sheffield for the visits. The episode ended on a cliffhanger with Catherine about to confront her lying sister in a coffee shop.
Once again, BBC viewers were full of praise for the Huddersfield writer and the cast. TV critic Scott Bryan summed it up saying: "Sally Wainwright literally can make someone sitting outside a coffee shop and then going into a coffee shop the most tense five minutes of television all week."
