In an exciting and suspense atmosphere, this drama series follows the efforts of two young smart detectives, who investigate on the mysterious murder of a young boy in the small town of Broadchurch, that seems to be a place of peace, as they reveal many dark secrets.
Most viewers will probably tune in to see Tennant in a dark and unfamiliar role, but as great as he is in the role, the real standout performance comes from Olivia Colman.
Broadchurch doesn't come with many stylistic flourishes -- it's a pretty straightforward crime story. But the care given to its characters and the damage the crime inflicts on the town make it one of the best scripted series of the summer.
Broadchurch is based on a generic premise, but nothing feels stale. With depth and passion, Colman brings her character's profound questioning to vibrant life.
