Many called it one of the best bits of telly they'd watched in a long while.
That showdown between Catherine and Tommy is probably one of the most captivating television moments ever. The fact you can simultaneously feel sympathy and absolute repulsion towards a fictional character is testament to how brilliantly written #HappyValley is. Wow🙌🏼
