Best TV of 2014: No 1 – Happy Valley
Time now for one of those “Best TV of…” things. Except that instead of doing it ourselves – because, in the spirit of everybody’s favorite Jor-El, Marlon Brando, we aren’t into the competition thing and don’t believe it’s right to pit shows against show – we’re going to let one of the world’s best news sites do it for us. Take it away, “The Guardian.”
EDITOR’S NOTE: “The Guardian” is a UK newspaper, so you may not know the shows being discussed. Yeah, we did this deliberately, so we could have our ethics and obey LB’s “I want a best of!” instruction too. Sneaky SOBs, ain’t we?
