It really is a fine mystery series, with a
Murder on The Orient Express-ish feeling that every single person in the town
could have killed the boy.
This is a particularly twisted thing, since the
victim isn’t some adult who made a bunch of well-deserved enemies, but he’s
just a perhaps troubled kid.
Every single person questioned practically
sneers at the investigating detectives.
They’re all very guilty of something!
I did not watch the original series so I’m not
making constant comparisons. I enjoyed
David Tennant as Who so I’m happy to see him another role. He is very good. I haven’t seen (nor am I likely to watch)
Breaking Bad so I don’t know Anna Gunn at all, but I’m liking her more as we go
along and she sees the case as a detective must rather than as a townsperson
and friend.
The original series ran 8 episodes and this is 10. Broadchurch has been renewed for a second season. People seem to go out of their way to be grumpy about Gracepoint, so we shall be so lucky.
