Any more like this one?

Just finished this, thought it was good outside of too many ridiculous coincidences. I've also watched the Fall and Broadchurch, but wondered if there were any others.

Oh goodness, we adored Happy Valley. Ummm....

River
Luther
Line of Duty (first 3 seasons on Hulu, great series and it kicks up a notch in season 2)
The Killing (American or Danish)
Scott and Bailey (on Hulu, also by Sally Wainwright)
Doctor Foster (not a mystery exactly)
Unforgiven (find on YouTube with Suranne Jones, it's by Sally Wainwright, the same creator as Happy Valley)
Unforgotten (with Nicola Walker)
Hinterland (not really the same feel as HV, but a lot of people like it too)
Shetland (just showed up on Netflix I think, but we haven't watched yet)

Wallander is also good

Yes, great point -- there's a lot of good Nordic Noir stuff out there, too.

The Bridge (the original Swedish version or the American)
Forbrydelsen (The Killing, think I listed that one)
Trapped
Case
Beck (haven't seen, but it's on our list)
Bordertown (Finnish/Russian -- excellent so far, on Netflix)
The Grave/Graven (Swedish, hard as hell to find, from 2004 I think)

Belgian shows (but with a noir feel):
The Break (La Treve, on Netflix)
Hotel Beau Sejour (also on Netflix)
