For those familiar with Happy Valley – and let’s be honest, there are few who aren’t – they know it’s more than a crime drama.
We were first introduced to Sergeant Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) in 2014. Armed with a potent mix of ruthlessness and wit, she coaxed down an intoxicated man from a children’s swing in Halifax, conducted drug raids and solved murder cases, all without batting an eyelid. More importantly, however, we’ve seen her struggle to reconcile her personal and professional lives - mostly thanks to her nemesis, James Norton’s Tommy Lee Royce, who keeps cropping up in both.
