Broadchurch plot

The quiet southern English coastal town of Broadchurch is rocked by the murder of 11-year-old Danny Latimer. The police investigation is led by Detectives Alec Hardy and Ellie Miller. Ellie has known the victim's family for years and is struggling with the immense grief Danny's death has caused in Broadchurch. She also struggles with various personal dilemmas, as well as the fact that she hates working with Hardy. Tension rises between the two when budding journalist Olly, Ellie's nephew, interferes with the investigation in an annoying way. Everyone tries their own way to find out what happened to Danny. Suspicions are expressed, which leads to a lot of unrest in the small village community. Even Ellie's own son Tom seems to have something to hide...

Good series. A small and remote village, strange inhabitants and a detective from outside; it's enough ingredients for a mystery. The music and camera work are in order and gradually create an idiosyncratic and suspicious atmosphere.

It is striking that there are sometimes takes that last from one to several minutes. I didn't expect that with a series like this. They always bring something extra (tension, immersion). The denouement may also be there. I wonder how this should continue in the second season and if that is sufficient; I think it's nicely rounded off.

I always try to switch between genres, but after two seasons of The Missing I was really looking forward to another British detective. Broadchurch had been on my list for a long time after all the positive noises. This seasons did not disappoint. The build-up of the mystery was good and the reveal was again quite well put together. It wasn't until the beginning of the last episodes that I had a proper guess of what might have happened. The rear was very variable. Olivia Colman is clearly stealing the show here and steals every scene. The rest, especially the Latimer family, I found a bit less. Biggest plus is the location. What a beautiful village that Broadchurch is, which by the way doesn't really exist.

Not the best British detective I've seen, but well worth it.

Good series with every character well explored. David Tennant beautifully portrays Hardy. But especially Olivia Colman as Ellie Miller is brilliantly portrayed. Add to that the landscape with its cliffs and vistas and you have a top series. Definitely worth watching!
