Ok another appreciation post

Ok I am making my way through filmographies of some of my favorite actors and I've finally made it around to walking Broadchurch staring David Tennant and I gotta talk about it. I will be adding a spoiler warning.

Ok here's another super late night appreciation post/rant about a stunning tv show that left me thinking. I love it when shows do that! And I will say that one thing that I love is that I could not figure out the who dun it which I'm pretty good at doing when watching a detective tv show and every season I couldn't figure it out. Each season I was left speechless.

The first season, I was crushed when Jack Marshall passed and I really thought Nigel had done it. And my jaw was on the floor when it was revealed that it was Joe Miller who killed Danny. I also don't know if I love the idea of all of the main detectives in these detective shows having a physical or mental problem (Sherlock and his cocaine addiction, Bull and his heart conditions/heart attacks, not to mention all of the detectives that get shot or injured and all of the distrust and such. it just seems like an overdone trope in my opinion) but I do think they did a good job with it on this show. It was handled differently that you see on others and that's what made it work.

The second was just a whirlwind of emotions. I was livid when Joe was found innocent. He should not have gotten off and even with circumstantial evidence, I really thought they would have found new evidence that would have gotten him convicted but they never did. Now this may be a hot take but I lowkey hated Beth in this season. There are multiple cases of spouses not knowing that anything is amiss in their household. And because Ellie was working on the case, I can see why she didn't believe it was Joe. Not wanting to believe he would be so stupid as to commit a murder. I believe Beth was just spiraling and needed to take a deep breath. I was very happy when Alec survived his surgery and solved Sandbrook. He deserved the wins and I loved that for him.

Season three hit very close to home for me so many times I had to watch a couple episodes then walk away and leave it alone for a little while then coming back. I will say, this is the one season that shocked me the most in terms of who did it. I really thought it was Jim or Ian, I did not expect it to be Leo and Michael and the different layers that this case had. I was sick to my stomach at one point but at the same time, it was interesting because I believe that's a sign of a good plot twist. I also just want to say that I love how good of parents Ellie and Alec are portrayed. It made me smile when Alec defended his daughter and then tore up her ticket.

Overall, I will say that it deserves the high ratings that it has on both IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes. It's definitely a show I will recommend in the future to other people and multiple rewatches. The cast was stunning and the stories were great!

guys help I feel like I’m losing my mind. was there an episode of broadchurch s2 where becca tells beth that paul is seeing joe in prison? I swear to GOD there was! and paul broke up with her when he found out?? I remember it clear as day but I can’t find it and my friend says she never saw it what is going on

The cinematography and scenery of Broadchurch is fucking amazing However, I would really like to know what were they thinking when shooting this scene?

Yeah let’s casually have a chat on a bench whilst overlooking a graveyard

edit: on further reflection it makes sense. They are investigating a murder after all (but it's still kinda funny, beautiful shots of the sea, beach and sky and then bam a graveyard)

EM: "tracked down a parent in a youth club, he said paul coates turned up a bit drunk one night and threw a bible at the boy's head..."

Anyone else notice the flag under the priest, Paul Coates, in the last Broadchurch episode? He is such a great priest, I’m kind of dissapointed to not know where he’ll go. Edit: I kind of realised he put it after the season two so it’s kind of to support his friend Maggie and to say to the whole town he and his God are super okay with love and I have now fanfictions in my head about his friendship with Maggie.
