TV show description:
This crime drama series revolves around the murder of an 11-year old whose body is discovered on a local beach. Detective Inspector Alex Hardy (David Tennant) is brought in to head up the murder investigation in the small seaside town of Broadchurch. His partner is local Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman).
The two detectives make a formidable team, although Hardy has a failed investigation in his past that has affected him deeply, and Miller resents having to work with the brusque outsider.
A grudging but deep mutual respect develops as they investigate the murder. Miller has to set aside her personal attachments to focus on the case and Hardy relies on her for her intimate knowledge about the local community.
The whole town reels with grief, mutual suspicion, and attention from the media. As the detectives collect evidence and interview suspects, some shocking truths are revealed.
Danny’s father, Mark Latimer (Andrew Buchan), and his mother Beth (Jodie Whittaker) already have a dysfunctional marriage and they battle to cope with their tragic loss.
Episode #24 — Episode Eight
Decisions are made, truths are revealed, and lives in Broadchurch are changed forever.
First aired: August 16, 2017.
What do you think? Do you like the Broadchurch TV show? Do you think it should have ended? Would you have liked to see a fourth season?
My Favorite TV series. Really would love to see more like a Season 4. Best actors & actresses!
This show has had great actors and believable characters. It should go on for season 4+.
Definately wish the series continued. Excellent show. Love the actors
This is my favorite TV series! I wish there was a season four to look forward to next year! The actors and writers are quite talented! I’ll certainly miss both!
I love this show and would love to see more seasons
I really loved Broadchurch the characters also made the show very compelling and a joy to watch. I got to see two seasons but never got to see season three or four. Please bring it back soon. BBCA has really gotten away from good drama series. They need to bring more back like Broadstreet, Cooper, Dr Who and Orphin Black and Torchwood so we don’t have to watch reruns of or favourites or the constant Startrack
love this series, started watching it while vacationing in New Zealand, so glad that BBC
America picked it up and can hardly wait for season 3 to air in the U.S
It’s an excellent series, I don’t see a reason for it to end it has so much potential. Would be great if the producers would change their minds.
Chris Chibnall said it was always conceived as three-and-done. He said it’s a small town. It wouldn’t be realistic if they kept having horrific crimes there. It would ruin the beautiful small town atmosphere. Plus, he’s going off to run Doctor Who, where he is much-needed.
Excellent show!
Absolutely loved it. Please don’t cancel. Great production.
A far more intelligent program than anything that could be initiated by any of the U.S.A. production companies, but what’s new in so declaring.
I’m addicted to this show. Please don’t cancel.
Great show!
love this show so please don cancel it cant wait for the next season
This is an outstanding show, Great mystery and intrigue. Please keep it going
