Broadchurch (2013) Review: A Town Turned Inside Out

Broadchurch is a British crime drama about a boy's murder in a Dorset seaside town, anchored by David Tennant and Olivia Colman and strongest in its grief.

Yes. The first season is superb small-town crime drama; the later two are good rather than great. Ideal for fans of patient British mysteries.
