    I've seen it. It's my second favorite David Tennant show.
    New season in January! :-)

    It was good, I just finished it...I was trying desperately to guess the killer all the way through and I was wrong every time! I had no idea who it was....lol

    My first fave David Tennant show is Dr Who!!! But this is good too and now I need to see gracepoint. So glad there will be a new season!!!

    My first favorite David Tennant show is The Politician's Husband!

    You watched all 8 eps in one day? Bravo you!

    His accent is really hard to accept in Gracepoint. It's also one of these things where they just did something to Americanize it that fucked with it. I kept trying to figure out if it was the music or the cinematography or the actual acting. But I don't know film school stuff. Gracepoint just felt less real.

    I'm just kidding. Ten is totally my Doctor ;)

    I did, I watched all 8 eps in one day, I was hooked, I couldn't stop all I did all day was watch the show and do some laundry....lol I was extremely lazy! But it felt good to have a lazy day....

    SO is Gracepoint actually the same thing? Like plot and everything? or do they have seperate plots? I checked Prime for Gracepoint and it's not on there or NF....so I can't watch it right now....I'm kinda bummed....

    You could check Fox's website. Yes it's the same thing, same plot, same dialogue with minor variations.

    It took me 7 episodes to know who killed Danny. That's a rarity with today's predictable whodunnits. I am really curious what they are going to do with the new season.

    Tell me about it, I thought I knew who did it and then they threw it at me at the end and I was in shock, I just couldn't believe it...and I normally know so quick who it is...

    I kiiiiiiiiiiinda think they're gonna go back to the case that David Tennant couldn't solve because of the stolen evidence. Only because the commercials show David Tennant AND Olivia Coleman again, so if they're the main characters, and they're both on leave from the department..... what else could it be?

    That chick from Torchwood is going to be in season 2. I just read an interview with her.

    I thought it was refreshing. The funny thing is, my sister and I figured it out at the same time, but for completely different reasons.

    It was probably a good idea not to tell the actors who the killer was until they shot the last episode, so no one could give off accidental 'it was me' vibes.

    It was interesting how much people got invested in this show too. I was at a meeting in Zurich when at dinner someone started to moan about Broadchurch being on that night and her not having figured it out yet. Turned out everyone at the table, no matter where they were from and if the show was actually aired there or not watched it. For the rest of the night, we discussed Broadchurch instead of work :P

    Please don't screw this up with a mediocre second season, writers!

    SPEAKING of Season 2 I just read yesterday, that it's been pushed back to March here in the US....I didn't read the article so I don't know why, but it was on David Tennant's official FB page...

    Watched the first episode of S2 yesterday. So far, it still has the feel of S1, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    Hehe, it was the same for me. Of course I remebered Olivia Coman's character's name, it's not as if Hardy hadn't screamed 'Millllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' enough over the course of series 1 :P, but I had some issues with others.

    Wife and I just finished broadchurch on netflix. We both loved it.
    I had a formula for figuring the bad guy in Murder She Wrote, but I didn't figure Broadchurch out.
    Now we are onto The Killing.

    Hope this isn't too silly a question, but I haven't watched series 1 of Broadchurch but did enjoy Gracepoint (Tennant's accent notwithstanding, lol)...not sure if I'll be able to watch series 1 of Broadchurch before series 2 comes out in Canada...will series 2 of Broadchurch be enjoyable/make sense if I've only seen Gracepoint? Thanks...

    Welcome to the dark side, DarthMaeglin!
    I haven't seen Gracepoint, but from what I've read they didn't change much and even used big chunks of the UK dialogue. I think they changed the circumstances of Danny's death somewhat, but if you can manage to find the scenes from the arrest and the confession somewhere on the net, you should be fine. You'll have to get used to the characters wearing different faces though :P

    See if you can just catch the last episode of S1 Broadchurch somewhere. Or honestly, just read the wikipedia. There's probably a table even matching up the character/place names. i.e. Broadchurch = Gracepoint
    Emitt Carver = DI Hardy
    Solano family = Latimer family, etc.

    I'd probably just read the wikipedia article lol

    Cool, thanks for the feedback and the welcome, I'm keeping my eyes open for the first series, if I haven't seen it by the time series 2 comes along, I'll follow up with the wiki suggestion. Now just hope we don't have to wait too long for the second series, lol. Still pissed about Jack Reinhold's fate on Gracepoint, lol.

    Haven't been active on a forum since the 24 show boards, so it's been awhile, lol. Just joined here, and like the look and feel of things so far.

    Anyone else sorely disappointed by this season? Either there's a huge twist that makes it all worth or they should have stuck with one series. Grrr.

    I've read that people are calling it Boredchurch. I think those people are crazy. If I had a complaint it would be that it took 6 episodes for Ellie to put her kid in his place. It kind of reminds me of the backlash over The Hangover 2. Of course you're gonna be disappointed by the second one if you're expecting the same thing again. The reason the first one was so good was you weren't expecting anything at all. If they don't renew for a 3rd I'll be disappointed. I dunno how many episodes they're doing, but I think they're close enough to the end of both the trial & Sandbrook to wrap things up nicely & throw in a teaser for a possible 3rd series.

    I just finished the first season and it was really well done. I didn't know who the killer was until the end. Usually shows are much easier to tell who it is. Good show
