Broadchurch is a British mystery series featuring David Tennant (aka the 10th Doctor) as a tired, cynical Detective Inspector Alec Hardy called upon to solve a child's murder. The series followed him, and his partner DS Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) as they followed the clues, and unravelled Town secrets better left hidden.
The brilliant part of this show is that it kept the tension up right until the very last episode. I couldn't guess at it, I had ideas but they were proven wrong, I really had no theories other than it might be someone close to the child's family. I purposefully stayed spoiler free, and didn't tweet about it outside episodes.
Last night the killer was revealed, and in true British fashion it was the person you least expected. I won't reveal the name, but I will say the killer was related to a police officer. This show is best viewed without spoilers.
The first season covered about 2 months, following the police every step of their investigation. It was about the town, and family of the dead boy himself. It gave a taste of what life was like; how the family dealt with losing a son, and how the community dealt with this sudden violent crime was committed by someone living among them.
Broadchurch will be back. There are rumours of season 2 as a possible prequel focusing on Tennant's character. In a recent Digital Spy article, series creators refused to confirm if David Tennant or any other cast member will return to the show.
