The Gripping Finale of 'Happy Valley': Healing and Catharsis.

The third and final season of the BAFTA-winning crime drama "Happy Valley" returns with its characters seven years older, grappling with generational trauma and grief. The season explores the question of what kind of man Ryan, the son of Becky, who was raped by her murderous ex-boyfriend, Tommy Lee Royce, will grow up to be. The show's creator, Sally Wainwright, has worked closely with female police officers to create the show's characters, who are appealingly ambiguous in their morality. The season finale will settle the question of whether the Cawood family can finally heal from its collective trauma or whether the past will continue to hound them.

The Gripping and Cathartic End of 'Happy Valley' Season 3.

The third and final season of the U.K. crime drama Happy Valley is back after seven years, with Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) close to retirement and her grandson Ryan (Rhys Connah) growing into a young adult. While the season's subplots feel more obligatory than in previous years, the material involving Catherine, Ryan, and Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton) is incredible, justifying the existence of this belated follow-up season. The work by Lancashire and Norton brings everything into focus despite the long gap, and the final scene they share, along with its immediate aftermath, is everything you would want it to be.
