We get not just seamless exposition, we get a tremendous feel for character that has us instantly caring about who these people are and how this event affects them. A fabulous cast helps, too.
It's everything great drama should be -- riveting, raw, heartbreaking, funny and very, very smart.
Simply a well-written, well-produced and well-acted murder mystery that's a pleasure to watch.
There's more to this than meets the eye.
The cinematography is as stellar as the cast.
Broadchurch is simply a knockout.

David Tennant and Olivia Colman both turn in immaculate performances as cops in a quiet seaside town in the UK dealing with a murder investigation. The writing is great as well where it gives you a feeling that anyone in the town could've committed the crime. Keeps you guessing right up until the end.
