It's what came to my mind as soon as I finished watching Episode 1 - this is like Fargo! And it is! It's funny people just going "no it's not." Because the basic premise is Fargo, the execution of that plot is different.
I have the blu ray box set and in the extra features I saw the interview of the writer / creator of the show Sally Wainwright... and she basically said she had watched Fargo and loved it... And had wanted to make her own version of it... which is what Happy Valley is. :)
I can watch the extras again and type out that section for you here if you want. :D
