After three seasons and 18 episodes, Sally Wainwright’s Happy Valley has finished forever – and we can’t stop talking about that pitch-perfect ending.
: “There is this constant question: ‘is Tommy a psychopath?’ and I have talked about this with people in the production and Sally [Wainwright] and Sarah [Lancashire]. The hints were almost laid in the very first series, in episode five, when he’s just been stabbed and he’s facing his own mortality, his own death.
“And he’s sitting in that high rise and he bursts into tears. He thinks, ‘Shit, I’ve wasted my life and if I had a different childhood maybe I could have been something in me.’ And if you think back to there, that was where Sally was already planning and carving out this ending I think, because there is humanity there. My final conclusion on Tommy is that I don’t think he is a psychopath, he’s just incredibly damaged.
Come the end of their domestic duel, TLR doused himself with petrol, lit a match and began screaming. Which leads us to…This series is an incredibly dark one, but there are gorgeous moments of light, too – and a lot of them we owe to Catherine. Because, while she may be a damaged person who’s made mistakes of her own, she is always ruled and driven by love.It is love that prompts Catherine to grab a blanket and smother the flames that have swallowed up her enemy with a blanket.
Plus, the fact that Tommy Lee Royce isn’t defeated by a gun or a taser, but by a photo album filled to the brim with happy smiling images, is well worth thinking about for a very long time.Everyone knows – thanks to the law or retirony – that any cop nearing retirement is doomed to die a miserable death. Once again, though, Wainwright’s drama subverts all expectations and allows our hero to walk away from her job unscathed.
Outstanding work, quite frankly. If only all the other writers sat penning police procedurals right now could take note, eh?Here’s our pitch to the Beeb: make good on Catherine’s retirement plans and give us the spin-off of our dreams. Let her fix up that old van, grab her passport and go driving all over Nepal. Give us the Sarge in backpacking mode! But, for the love of all that is good and holy, make sure that she invites Clare along for the ride.
