Broadchurch (2013–2017)
10/10
a lot will go down
5 May 2021
My parents told me about "Broadchurch", and so I spent a lot of free time during COVID isolation watching it. What a show! This clever look at the investigation of a child's death in a coastal English town deftly mixes mystery, grief, and the potential for the media's lapse of ethics.

The stars are Olivia Colman and David Tennant. I only learned of her a few years ago when she won an Oscar for playing Queen Anne in "The Favorite" (more recently she played Queen Elizabeth on "The Crown"). He more recently starred on the coronavirus-themed "Staged". Both put their all into the roles of the detectives investigating the death. I don't know how such an investigation would actually work, but the show plays everything out with such nuance that it doesn't matter. If you have free time, definitely check this show out.
