Is anyone watching "Broadchurch" on BBC America? Kind of like "The Killing" I guess if I had to describe it. I'm only two episodes in but I'm really liking it so far. And it features David Tennant for all of you Doctor Who folk.

Helen really liked it. I thought Tennant did a very good job. Good acting all round in fairness, good writing, well-paced. Will watched it when it was originally broadcast :)

I haven't caught it yet but was thinking about it because (a) Tennant and (b) Tim Goodman strongly strongly recommended it.

I've seen the first episode. I liked it. I think our second episode airs on Wednesday - how did you get the second episode already??
- WebGoddess
I watched the first episode and liked it. I will watch the 2nd after it airs on Wednesday.

I'm really liking it. R, one of my best friends whom I met in film school now does some work for the BBC and occasionally he'll hook me up if there's something he thinks I might like. I had Downtown Abbey Season 3 when the UK did. :) Shhhh!

Ah - that explains it. I thought I was missing something. Well, I'll be sure to catch the second episode then! Thanks for the recommendation!!
- WebGoddess
I liked it very much.

I have it on the DVR, just haven't watched it yet. I heard it was a phenom in the UK.

Prepare to fall in love with Olivia Colman. She's well on the way to being a 'national treasure' over here.

It as really well received over here... due mainly to no leaks about what was going to happen. The cast had filmed several endings and even they were only told a couple of days before transmission whodunnit.

Here is a link to that rave review from Goodman: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review...

It shows ITV *can* do quality still.

but it rarely does!

Of course, there has already been an announcement of an American version for FOX. You would think we would be satisfied with watching the British one.
- Alan
Yeah, well, Hollywood.
- Derrick
Please to not spoil. I'm really enjoying it.
- Derrick
Olivia Colman is in everything!

Heather and I watched the first episode. We both liked it, but she felt that was very intense and wasn't sure if she could keep watching. She agreed to give it another episode before she decides.

And there are my comparisons to "The Killing" which I watched up to a point (maybe a little more than halfway?) and it was just SO bleak and SO dire and dreary and rainy and tough and intense. I will say that I like the writing, the performances and that, despite it's plot and content, is more accessible for me as a viewer.
