Max has canceled the Julia Child-inspired series "Julia" after a two-season run, following the wrap of its second season on Dec. 21. The show, which received favorable reviews, starred Sarah Lancashire as Child and was produced by Lionsgate Television. The cancellation comes amid a period of cost-cutting in the television industry, with Max also having axed another series, "Our Flag Means Death," this week.
The period dramedy "Julia," based on the life of Julia Child and starring Sarah Lancashire, has been canceled by Max after two seasons. Despite critical acclaim, the show failed to find a widespread audience. The series depicted Child's rise to fame and her impact on bringing French cuisine to American households.
The third and final season of the BAFTA-winning crime drama "Happy Valley" returns with its characters seven years older, grappling with generational trauma and grief. The season explores the question of what kind of man Ryan, the son of Becky, who was raped by her murderous ex-boyfriend, Tommy Lee Royce, will grow up to be. The show's creator, Sally Wainwright, has worked closely with female police officers to create the show's characters, who are appealingly ambiguous in their morality. The season finale will settle the question of whether the Cawood family can finally heal from its collective trauma or whether the past will continue to hound them.
The third and final season of the U.K. crime drama Happy Valley is back after seven years, with Catherine Cawood (Sarah Lancashire) close to retirement and her grandson Ryan (Rhys Connah) growing into a young adult. While the season's subplots feel more obligatory than in previous years, the material involving Catherine, Ryan, and Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton) is incredible, justifying the existence of this belated follow-up season. The work by Lancashire and Norton brings everything into focus despite the long gap, and the final scene they share, along with its immediate aftermath, is everything you would want it to be.
The third and final season of the British crime drama Happy Valley is an instant classic, packing an emotional and suspenseful punch. The series follows Sgt. Catherine Cawood, a tough but caring Yorkshire cop burdened with unbearable sorrows and a reservoir of rage. The season builds to a suspensefully inevitable, unforgettable encounter between Catherine and the villain responsible for her grief. Happy Valley's sharply drawn subplots involve local organized crime and the ravages of illicit drugs, but the series is really all about Catherine's cathartic and blistering last stand.
