Review of Broadchurch

Broadchurch (2013–2017)
8/10
Small Seaside Town Murder Investigation
27 August 2019
Warning: Spoilers
(Flash Review)

Season 1 follows the Investigation of the murder of a child while the two main detectives search for clues and interview everyone in the small town. One detective is a local and one an outsider which plays into the drama. It does follow the typical pattern of each key character being interrogated and considered as the main suspect which is one mechanism for creating character depth. Can you guess who did it? Overall, it is a good quality television series with nice writing, some picturesque scenes and is a very watchable investigative drama.

Season two is more the watching the town dealing with the aftermath of the court judgement. And more if the town's hidden and dirty secrets slowly surface and run amuck with people's relationships.

Season three is a new case. A lady is raped and the detectives rummage through more of the town's dirty laundry as they try to find the culprit and the detectives banter is increasingly amusing. Is something brewing between them?

Overall, this is a quality British detective mini-series and well-worth the time.
