So how do you think it will end or how would you like it to end?

Sarah75 Sun 05-Feb-23 22:11:19

Wow! Clever ending.

Jaxjacky Sun 05-Feb-23 22:11:43

Phew!

nanaK54 Sun 05-Feb-23 22:12:51

Brilliant ending!

Urmstongran Sun 05-Feb-23 22:13:23

I cried. Even better than I’d hoped. It was pretty raw emotionally wasn’t it?

NotSpaghetti Sun 05-Feb-23 22:13:56

What a let down!
That's what you have to do if you want to jam it into 70 mins.
Disappointed.

Maggiemaybe Sun 05-Feb-23 22:14:22

Oh, that was so good. smile

Sarah75 Sun 05-Feb-23 22:14:44

Really? I thought it was a superb ending.

“I might have singed one of your crochet throws”. grin

I thoroughly enjoyed that 😊

Really? I thought it was a superb ending.

Yes, me.

Slow and suspenseful in parts, with sudden bursts of violence and a satisfying ending.

Yes, that was a good line. 👍

Callistemon21 Sun 05-Feb-23 22:17:31

Typo:
me too.

I was shouting "Oh, no, all that work, what a waste of a crochet blanket!"

Litterpicker Sun 05-Feb-23 22:19:26

I’m wrung out

Sar53 Sun 05-Feb-23 22:19:35

A satisfactory ending, tense, shocking at times and emotional too.
A brilliant series.

Visgir1 Sun 05-Feb-23 22:21:35

Didn't see that ending coming? Magnificent final scene with TL and Catherine.
Absolutely brilliant witting from Sally Wainwright.
Going to re watch without the stress.

merlotgran Sun 05-Feb-23 22:24:07

A really good ending. I’d like to have seen more of the pharmacist and his arrest but there wasn’t enough time.

Maggiemaybe Sun 05-Feb-23 22:25:49

It was a perfect ending imho. All loose ends duly tied. I’m so glad Sally Wainwright wasn’t tempted to finish it all off with a Wild West type shoot out. The acting was superb.

Pittcity Sun 05-Feb-23 22:26:52

Good job Winnie was still keeping an eye out.

I hope the teacher's daughter finally took her coat off!

Juliet27 Sun 05-Feb-23 22:31:23

Another bit of a tussle!!

Redhead56 Sun 05-Feb-23 22:31:57

Superb acting I feel like a wreck now got to watch it another day.

The Telegraph just now:

REVIEW
Happy Valley, episode 6, review: a finale of understated, heartbreaking brilliance

5/5
Sally Wainwright and Sarah Lancashire gave Catherine Cawood the denouement she deserved – a sensational end to a truly great drama.

It was a brilliant finale to what has been a brilliant series.
Sally Wainwright knows people doesn’t she. She gives older Lancashire women and the Lancashire countryside the starring roles they deserve.
Good triumphed over evil, in the end . I liked the superintendent’s underplayed recognition of Catherine’s local knowledge
Also -his response to Catherine asking who’s going to look after those two little girls. Their granny he said, in fact, there are two grannies. Full circle, grannies to the rescue

Maggiemaybe Mon 06-Feb-23 09:12:31

Lancashire??!

Oh, I think you might be in trouble now, Iam! grin
