Tragedy strikes Gracepoint, a town in Northern California, when a young boy is found dead on a beach. When authorities quickly declare the death a homicide, the town's residents turn against one another, and a media frenzy erupts. Detective Emmett Carver, a by-the-book cop, is brought in to fill a high position in Gracepoint's police force and lead the investigation. Detective Ellie Miller, who had been promised Carver's position, must set aside her resentment about that and research the case with her new boss.

Critics Consensus

While it may suffer in comparison to its British predecessor Broadchurch, Gracepoint brings an engrossing, sophisticated, and stylish crime drama to network television with Anna Gunn as a commanding lead.

The best way to experience this reimagined story is through fresh eyes. Go to Full Review David Wiegand San Francisco Chronicle 10/13/2014

Gracepoint isn't entirely hard to swallow. Just hard to care too much about. Go to Full Review Neela Debnath Independent (UK) 10/03/2014
Fox's eagerly anticipated Gracepoint aired last night but for anyone British in the audience the whole experience smacked of dj vu - and not in a good way. Go to Full Review Q.V. Hough Vague Visages 06/23/2023
Four episodes in, FOX’s Gracepoint continues to reel me in with outstanding visuals, excellent pacing and perhaps the best all-around cast on television. Go to Full Review Tom Fitzgerald and Lorenzo Marquez Tom & Lorenzo 06/08/2018
Gracepoint is Broadchurch with the two best aspects removed from it, making it an even more standard take on the average mystery show. Go to Full Review Megan Basham WORLD 03/17/2018
Gracepoint isn't bad as a generic whodunit, but you don't have to be an Anglophile to see that the original, which was more interested in accurately representing small-town people and values, was far superior. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Alain E @AlainE Dec 3 I was not aware that it was a remake. Started watching given the high ratings. I tolerated less than 8 minutes. Screams fake from the get go. Michael Pena is some type of contractor who leaves his house in the morning and as he walks to be picked up by his business van he exchanges greetings and comments every five steps. He should have run for mayor. Apparently soon he will learn that his young son is dead. There is also some drama about a female police detective that was not promoted as she had been promised. I bet ten bucks that she will be the one to solve the riddle. Congratulations! See more Kim B @RT99220872 Jul 18 Just saw it. Where was I in 2014? Really like the character and the story line. Why was season.#2 not a thing!?! See more Catriona M @RT92191462 Mar 30 Why can’t Americans (USA) and American TV execs enjoy fantastic TV from the rest of the globe without bastardising the crap out of everything? Broadchurch was already amazing AND had Olivia Coleman acting with David Tennant. David is fantastic, because he is a fantastic actor. Watch Broadchurch Americans, learn about the world and the tv you are missing without it being baby fed to you. So many UK shows are made sh*t for the rest of the world by American TV execs See more sarah l @RT27028640 11/20/2024 This show is just america and hollywood bastardising a good show that came from another country again. Save your time and just watch the original. See more Steve W @Whiteysteve 07/24/2024 I started watching this 10 episode series, and could not stop. Finished over 1 Weekend + a night. Maybe not perfect in every way, but the gripping and with some solid real life characters. I'm guessing the down reviewers just feel the need to knock what is a great small town detective series. With added bonus of David 'Broadchurch' Tennant. See more Joy G @RT76948594 02/01/2023 Loved Brit og Broad Church and David Tennant, but this is a wholly unnecessary remake. Ann Gunn is miscast here, her character is bland, not believable, unsure why exactly. Apparently Hollywood thinks us dumb, so characters over explain unlike Brit og. Everyone is abrasive, secretive when you think they'd just want to find the killer, family included. Nothing new to say. Do yourself a favor & watch Broad church instead. See more Read all reviews
