When the body of an eleven-year-old boy is found on a beach in Dorset, an out-of-town detective is assigned the case, much to the chagrin of the local force. As members of the community are investigated, the small, otherwise unassuming town is rocked by gossip, media attention, rage, and grief.

Broadchurch is as bleak and enthralling as crime dramas come, with exceptional performances across the board, but particularly from Tennant and Millward as the two leads. The way in which their investigation invades the lives of the people in the community, as well as their own families and pasts, makes Broadchurch a very personal tale – one that you know isn't likely to have a happy ending. This series isn't exactly going to lift your spirits, but if you're interested in a gritty, emotional journey, it's definitely worth watching.
This show has two amazing lead actors who are both giving really great performances. They both bring a lot of humanity and, in different ways, warmth to a pretty dark story. In general, the show is special because it focuses on the human side of its mystery. The second and third seasons aren't quite as strong, but the characters always make it worth watching.
