Another great TV series in NETFLIX: "Happy Valley"

Happy Valley is a British crime drama television starring Sarah Lancashire and Siobhan Finneran. The first season debuted on BBC One on 29 April 2014, and the second series debuted on 9 February 2016. In May 2015, Happy Valley won the BAFTA Award for Best Drama Series.

The main character is Catherine Cawood, a police sergeant in West Yorkshire. She can´t forget the suicide of her teenage daughter, Becky, eight years earlier. Cawood is now divorced from her husband and living with her sister, Clare, who is helping her bring up Becky's young son, Ryan, the product of rape. Neither Catherine's ex-husband nor their adult son, Daniel, want anything to do with Ryan. Catherine hears that Tommy Lee Roy, the man responsible for the brutal rape that drove Becky to suicide shortly after Ryan was born, is out of prison after serving eight years for drug charges. Catherine soon becomes obsessed with finding Royce, unaware that he is involved in the kidnapping of Ann Gallagher.Things quickly take a dark turn as the abductors scramble to keep the kidnapping secret, although Catherine is on to them.
