That's what I got from it.

I like this show a lot more than I anticipated and I hope they'll go even darker and more upsetting!

I wish. It's more of a "meh" situation, actually.

I gave up on this show four episodes ago. Anyone else thinking about quitting?

Upvoted for mentioning Raein. They're still around, btw. Well sort of.

Semi-agreed. Alvey's story is definitely very realistic. Alcohol
destroys lives in slow, tedious, torturous ways. So, yes, it's very likely that a guy like him will never wake up and change anything. He'll just fade away, leaving the people in is life haunted and tormented by his actions.

Agreed. You can't just open your fucking car door without checking your mirror. (It's beyond me how this reviewer thinks, Alvey may only be partially at fault here.)

"I'm left scratching my head at what the scene was actually trying to communicate."

You're mean.

Cool, cool, cool. Just got myself those files and will watch this weekend!
I
was never that much bothered with The Family's cliffhangers. I enjoy
the overall mood of the series without taking it 100% seriously.

Thanks for the tip on 13. I will check that out!

1.) This family is great at avoidance.
2.) Just living a fantasy. A desperate fantasy, sure, but people don't always act according to logic.
3.) I don't think Louis is playing it for laughs at all. Of all the portrayals of Tourette's I've seen on TV, this is by far the least offensive. (Just pick any David E. Kelley…

Am I the only one who finds it deeply upsetting that the Save Venice people have spent a lot of time and energy into fighting the hotel and all it takes is Chip telling his little story (all lies) for them to throw everything over board and welcome the gentrifiers? Because, hey, maybe Venice can "be good for them,…

Good on you for thinking there is some actual substance to this show. That way you actually get something out of it. Personally, I find it impossible to care about Chip's problems and to find any kind of "truth about the human condition" in the plot and the characters. The treatment of the female characters is indeed…

I don't know if this was the best episode yet, all I can say is that it really resonated with me and that I was truly devastated at the end. I am wondering where all this cruelty comes from but at this point I can only guess. If it is true that Sylvia never cared for Pete then why is that so? Is it because Pete is…

I had been looking forward to the second season of Happy Valley for so long. British TV websites are really shit at announcing the airdates for their shows. You have to check back constantly. Had't done it in a few weeks, so I missed the season 2 premier. Thanks to you, though, I can start watching now. Bless you man…

True. And only serial killers should play serial killers because… well, I don't know where you're going with this.

I've been watching this show without feeling super excited about it, but this last episode wasn't too bad and I would definitely continue to watch it if it returned.

No. He is cute but a total dullard.
This isn't about Rebecca getting "the" guy. It's about her thinking that getting "the" guy will make her problems go away. It won't.

For a minute I had that same feeling. Something felt off. But then again, the whole story feels off, either way.
