More Critic Reviews for Broadchurch Season 2 All Critics (31) | Top Critics (15) | Fresh (26) | Rotten (5) The thrill is gone along with the subtlety. Mar 4, 2015 | Full Review… Hal Boedeker Orlando Sentinel Top Critic What a relief... to find that the first four episodes of season two... are a promising continuation of season one. Mar 3, 2015 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic What saves Broadchurch this season and is likely to keep people from jumping off the bandwagon is the cast, especially the new additions. Mar 2, 2015 | Full Review… Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Top Critic How credulous, I wonder, does Broadchurch's writer, Chris Chibnall, think we are? Jan 15, 2015 | Full Review… Rachel Cooke New Statesman Top Critic It looks like the second series of ITV's popular thriller is going to be far more interesting than we can usually expect from such a highly-anticipated follow-up. Jan 6, 2015 | Full Review… Caroline Crampton New Statesman Top Critic This bolt from the blue made me realise just how powerful and compelling the case of Danny Latimer was and how satisfying it was to rake over what had gone before. Mar 11, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Ben Lawrence Daily Telegraph (UK) Top Critic Allow yourself to be swept along by the hallucinatory pictures and music, and it becomes absorbing. Nov 6, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review… Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Even though series two of Broadchurch can't be as compelling, tense and original as series one, it's still a must-see. Aug 14, 2017 | Full Review… Bernice Harrison Irish Times One of television's finest mysteries returns with a thrillingly acted second season, even if the central mystery isn't as compelling this time around. Mar 4, 2015 | Rating: 7/10 | Full Review… Jordan Adler We Got This Covered I'm not convinced there needed to be a Season 2 of Broadchurch, but it's hard to get too grumpy when Tennant and Colman make such harmonious music together. Mar 2, 2015 | Full Review… Kristi Turnquist Oregonian View All Critic Reviews (31) Audience Reviews for Broadchurch: Season 2 This season deals with the fall out from the first. It builds on a lot of the stories from the first season and brings in new characters that help to flesh out the happenings in Broadchurch months after the first season ends. It has a very appropriate and satisfying ending with another crime that Miller and Hardy reopen as one of the season's main storylines. This could've been the ending to the show but word is the BBC has greenlit another season. Will be interested to see where it goes from here. PatrickW Super Reviewer Despite its rocky beginning on an otherwise great season, the new chapter of Broadchurch improves on nearly every aspect upon the previous entry, with Chris Chibnall's writing fleshing out its talented cast while introducing new and intruguing characters, and the already remarkable cinematography reaches exciting new levels of greatness.
