Eight weeks on twists and turns, red herrings, surprises, secrets and lies, and finally Alex discovers who the killer is. The pieces all fall into place, and the outcome is tragic, sad and sickening in equal measure. I can remember the identity of the killer coming as a real surprise, almost the only other person that we hadn't even discussed as a family, we had bets, and a prize, we were all wrong.
This show was so big, friends and neighbours were discussing it, it really did prove one thing, the nation loves a whodunnit, why given the huge success of this, is it still such an overlooked genre.
You find yourself looking back through the series, and finding clues, sudden impulses to defend those accused of being guilty, the bickering family. It's incredibly well done.
Colman and Tennant are remarkably good in it, they have been since the very start. Can you fault a single performance throughout it, not a chance.
Chibnall has faced a huge amount of criticism for his stint on Doctor Who, whatever your views, he did a Masterclass here.
Broadchurch rates as one of the best dramas off all time, why they felt the need to make Gracepoint I will never know.
It's a superb finale, 10/10.
