Broadchurch

Is anyone else watching? I loved the first series and I've been looking forward to this.

Oh and it helps that I can drool over David Tennant!

Been waiting for this for a few weeks now.

Loved the first series.

It's the first decent thing on TV for ages. Christmas and New Year tv was very disappointing.

Not really all that impressed so far although it has Eve Myles in it, so a little bit of a plus in it.

It's got a lot to live up to after the first series. I'd probably be struggling with this if it wasn't for David Tennant!

I'm enjoying seeing West Bay though, I love the West Country.

Not a bad 1st episode at all with quite a lot going on in it.

Think i'll need to watch it again.

I still need to see the first series! I'm assuming its worth it from what's been said here. Does it carry on or is it kind of separate

I haven't actually seen it, but I know there's a lot of hype about it.

To save me Googling it, can someone give me a brief explanation as to what it is about?

Up to now all I know is that David Tennant is in it......

@Tobythis series follows on from the last one. You could probably watch this one on it's own but it might not make much sense.

@gemz4the1in a nutshell - Danny Latimer, son of Beth and Mark, was killed in Broadchurch which is a fictional town in Dorset. The first series concentrated on the search for the killer, with loads of red herrings. The search for the killer is led by DI Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and DS Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman).

Thanks @Anonymous

If the first series is about catching the killer then what will the second series be about? Is it following on from the same storyline or will it be a different murder?

Now we can't be adding spoilers 😉

I'm not adding spoilers. I'm just confused. Was the killer caught in the first series or is it dragging on over the second series?

Lol

Who was taken into custody has said not guilty but theirs other stories being introduced about another un caught killer.

Sounds interesting.

I read online that there were a few complaints when the episode aired as people couldn't understand David Tennant - is that true?

It's weird to hear his Scottish accent when it was surpressed so much in Dr Who ..., imo.

Re: Broadchurch

gemz4the1 — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:31:55 GMT

I didn't even know he was Scottish until I saw him in the Virgin Media TV ads

Hello @Anonymous

I still haven't managed to watch this yet but I have read up about it. Apparently some viewers aren't happy with the new series being so dark and evil. I'm scared to watch it

I'm enjoying it.

About time we had some more good British Drama 😗

I'm enjoying it! I don't think it's as good as the first series (yet) but, like @Anonymous says, it's good to see good British drama.
