Don't you Limey's pay any attention at all?

BTW, I don't want to give you folks any spoilers on the first series, (since apparently you provincial types are getting it about six months later than we did) but the quality does hold up past the pilot...

I hate it when this happens....

I'm good with it...

For those of you keeping score at home... that's "Limeys" plural, not "Limey's" possessive

And for all ethnic cleansers, Gob is not a Limey but a Welsh git

Broadchurch is making it's US debut on BBC America next week...

From the promos it looks pretty promising, (I see it features a couple of Dr. Who alums) I also see it's got an 8 rating on IMDB...

I believe it's already run in the UK; any opinions? (please no spoilers)

Jim, they are making an American Broadchurch, ....

Jim. Broadchurch was bloody staggeringly brilliant.

Fizzy fantastic dialogue, superb acting and a beautiful location.


Gob. Do you remember what the Septics did with Life on Mars???

Nope, avoided that so far!!

You'd do right to never let that abomination in front if your eyes.

I think that they'll do the same to Broadchurch.

We've watched the first two episodes of Broadchurch now, and I agree with Daze; brilliant show...

Tennant is fantastic; and the rest of the cast is well chosen as well...

One of the challenges a mystery show that has only a single murder to be solved over multiple episodes faces, is that they can start to drag and get bogged down with a lot uninteresting "filler" to fill up the time...

At least in the first two episodes, this show has completely avoided that; the plot development moves along in a crisp and engaging way that really draws you in from the get go; hardly five minutes goes by without some new element or plot twist being added...

I finished watching Broadchurch last night. Excellent drama, gripping right to the end and I called the killer after three episodes.

I could never be 100% sure though...

We watched episode 3 a little while ago...

I have to say they've gone for some "filler"...

In episode 2 when Hardy first questions the father, and dad says he can't remember the name of the "mate" he was out with two nights before, (the night his son was murdered) the very next question any copper would ask would be, "were you having an affair?" ...

I'm not a DI, (and I don't even play one on TV) but I've seen enough of them to know that when a married man gives you a wildly implausible explanation for his whereabouts at the time of a murder, the next logical question to be asked is whether or or not he was with a woman not his wife....

It took Hardy three interviews and an arrest for Obstruction Of Justice before he got around to asking that question...

But in any event, we can now rule out the father; the investigation focused on him far to early for him to be the murderer...(Maybe the purpose of drawing that out was to bring the father's business partner in as a suspect)

The creepy property manager with the keys to the beach house looks good for it, (especially after they showed the skateboard in the closet) Especially now that the beach house has burned down at the end of episode three...She's obviously hiding something, but I doubt it's the murder...(too early, too obvious)

There are some others I think can be ruled out, (like the creepy supposed "psychic"; again, too obvious)

The one I'm going to keep my eye on for now is the father's girlfriend...

A minor character with no seeming motive, introduced early on who seems tangential to the plot...I've watched and read enough of these to know that this is frequently the type of character who ultimately winds up the villain of the piece....

Feel free to give your opinions on my analysis, but please....

Col. Mustard, in the toilet, with a plunger?

Jim I won't spoil it for you, the denouement is just beautiful though.
