Broadchurch

Broadchurch (2013)is an ITV British television series Starring David Tennant (of Dr. Who fame) and Olivia Colman.  It is a detective show that covers the story of a small town faced with the murder of a young boy.  The season covers the stories of the detectives (Tennant and Colman), the family and the residents of the small, closely knit seaside community.  The acting is powerful and the stories evolve deeper and deeper as each persons life comes under scrutiny.  Broadchurch is not the typical British detective series that I have become quite familiar with.  It stands out in a unique way not unlike the series Luther has, though not as dark.  I watched the entire season in three days and was pleased to see that a second season is currently being filmed.
