The murderous small town
The Brits make the best thrillers
This is proved by new series Broadchurch. It stars ex-"Doctor Who" David Tennant and
Olivia Colman .
A boy is dead: eleven-year Danny Latimer is found on the
beach at Broadchurch. Soon it is confirmed: he was murdered. Danny's parents
Beth (Jodie Whittaker) and Mark (Andrew Buchan) are devastated, the whole town
is in turmoil: who is capable of such a deed? What was the motive?
The good
No great joy is had by Sergeant Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) in
her new boss, Inspector Alec Hardy (David Tennant), especially as she was the
lead candidate for the job. Then Hardy also turns out also to be a socially
incompatible loner. Miller is in a moral dilemma as she herself is a close
friend of the family. What she does not know is that her own son, Danny's best
friend, is deleting files from his mobile phone and computer.
The bad
The investigation soon shows that it is not as it seems in
the supposed small-town idyll: Danny's father is having an affair, the friendly
newsagent has a previous conviction for sex with minors and Danny's sister hides
drugs under her bed. There’s a nod to David Lynch's classic Twin Peak, as a telephone engineer
delivers messages from the beyond. As the national press invades Broadchurch, the
mood in the town is permanently shifted .
To be continued
In England series 2 is currently in development, and a U.S. remake
with the title Gracepoint is already recording.
David Tennant stars in this alongside Breaking
Bad actress Anna Gunn.
