Anyone seen or heard of this show?

It's a British murder mystery about the death of a young kid. David Tennant is the star. I heard it was very good despite it's somewhat typical premise so I decided to watch it

VERY glad I did! There's only one season of eight episodes. I watched them all today. It's a really great show. It's compared to The Killing a lot and I can see why. It really deals with the aftermath of the murder on the quiet community. Again, very typical, but reallyyy well done

David Tennant and the other lead detective were both great in it. The dirt that's dug up around the town from the investigation doesn't ever feel forced. The worst part about shows like this is that there's always the most wild shit secretly going on in these seemingly ordinary towns and it's all unearthed at once. While it definitely does have that, they really don't seem too extravagant and they're brought up naturally in the investigation process

Also, the show is incredibly sad. Especially the pilot

Eight episodes, 45 minutes each. Definitely worth watching

My Mac they're making an American version of this, starring...David Tennant (: . He's playing the same role. Skylar White from Breaking Bad is playing the female detective

Isn't that strange? I hate it tbh. It better be different enough to make it worth it

I just realized that was Grey Worm

Surprised you didn't spoil it tbh

lel I was waiting for that. His arch was very sad

S2 seems really silly, Tennant playing an American version of the same character seems even more silly. I really don't see the point at all

The American version is different though. Apparently the first episode is essentially the same, but everything after that is totally different, including the killer, so that should be good at least

Graceland just aired. Watched the first episode last night. It was.....pretty much identical. But I remember the Broadchurch premiere being way more emotional, like one of the saddest openings to a show I've seen. This didn't hit me quite the same, but that's probably because I had essentially seen it already (:

Cart, the mother from Animal Kingdom plays Susan, the creepy dog lady. Nick Nolte plays the WALDER FREY character too

The characters were exactly the same. There was not a single new one and not a single one lost that I can think of. One funny thing, the blonde motel worker in Broadchurch was the only American, in this she's the only Brit

ANYWAY it was pretty much fine I guess. I still really don't get why Tennant would wanna play the same character. Anna Gunn was good. The biggest problem is that I'll just keep comparing it to Broadchurch. Hopefully that'll change once these next episodes begin to differ from it

It's v good

But I didn't watch future seasons cuz I thought continuing the story was silly

How do you know it was silly if you didn't watch, though? Season 1 was the best but the other two seasons were also good. David Tennant and Olivia Colman are both soooo good in this series.

lol I don’t need to watch to think that continuing past s1 seemed silly, I didn’t say the seasons WERE silly. I thought the first season was a perfect open and shut case/season and there was no reason to push the story further

Did the American version even happen?

Yeah it stunk

No way, that had natural next steps and many lingering questions

Plus for what it’s worth my dad said s2 wasn’t good and it should’ve stopped at s1 and I trust him more than anyone
