      Audience Reviews for Broadchurch: Season 3

      • Apr 29, 2023

        Such a disappointment compared to the excellent Seasons 1&2. Far less engaging and the characters from those first two seasons felt more like space fillers whose scenes you wanted to be over with. Not that the main story was very compelling either. Chibnall's standard has dropped significantly here with implausible characters and storylines. Then there is the moralising which is only cringeworthy in that there is no apparent original thought to it. That is of course not to belittle the message about the abhorrence of rape. However, the obvious message pushing would have been no less embarrassing if Ellie had broken the fourth wall to deliver her opinions on the crime. This was unfortunately a foreshadowing of Chibnall's woeful tenure in the Doctor Who lead.

      • Sep 17, 2022

        The production values, character development, and acting are all excellent. And the two leads do an exceptional job. But the never-ending parade of rotten, dysfunctional, toxic men is overwhelming and dispiriting.

      • May 05, 2022

        Eventhough not as strong as the first two seasons, it's still Broadchurch.

      • Oct 27, 2021

        We are back to solving. Same detectives but totally different story line and people. Is possible to watch this season on its own without really knowing the plot of the prev seasons ( there is just a few things that connect it, how Miller's life it now etc) This season was intense, good writing and acting.

      • Feb 18, 2021

        A very strong third season caps off an all-around great series. Broadchurch season three plays to its strengths and introduces more new characters and another serious crime to get wrapped up in with our two captivating lead characters Ellie Miller and Alec Hardy played brilliantly by Olivia Colman and David Tennant. Broadchurch as a whole has all the ingredients of a great crime drama: compelling characters, high stakes crime, and solid writing and direction.

      • Jan 30, 2021

        Such a drop from the first two seasons. The first two were at least a 4/5 with interesting stories and tangles lines. The third season was clearly written with an agenda. Irrelevant stories with unrelatable/poorly casted characters and predictable lines. Wish they stopped after the second season because they would've ended with a glory.

      • Oct 25, 2020

        Excellent all around

      • Oct 19, 2020

        I like detective stories. Unlike some others, say Criminal United Kingdom, this detective TV series did a good job to bring audience to the scene rather than just talking scenes in the interviews between detectives and suspects. Moreover, the psychology of various characters are subtly presented. The leading actor and actress are performing well. Bottom line: I'll recommend this to all folks who like to watch detective stories with sophisticated description of human weaknesses and psychology. I had a chance to watch season 1 many years ago on a plane. Then today just finished this season 3 in Netflix.

      • Oct 16, 2020

        Blase. It's kind of depressing, everything going wrong. I guess has an intriguing mystery, but I could've lived without this season.

      • Sep 02, 2020

        Here's a riddle: Q: Why are the makers of Broadchurch more energetic than other show makers? A: Because they used the least effort.
