Broadchurch  - Season 1
Broadchurch - Season 1
2013 | Drama
British TV at its best. With a small number of episodes (only 8) and yet an intricate plot to unfold, the action flows along at quite a pace.
David Tennant plays the grumpy detective well, ably backed up by Olivia Colman.
Episode by episode each of the main characters are touted as a main suspect for the murder of young Danny Latimer and all eventually discounted (though you never really stop believing they could have done it!).
The conclusion was something of a shock and made you question everything you had seen in the previous episodes.

Great cast, fresh retelling (0 more)
A little laboured in places (0 more)
Beautiful cinematography
Stellar cast from diverse backgrounds really added depth to the characters and pulled together to breathe new life into an already very familiar story.

Kenneth Branagh did an excellent turn as director for this film with beautiful scenery shots and tight edits.


His Piorrot was unexpectedly excellent (David Sachet has spoiled me for all other Piorrot), offering a very human take on the detective without losing any of his steel.


If I had one criticism, the film felt very long and slightly laboured, but overall was a stunning film.
