Ash @Ashley190 Jan 29 Sharif's character Lizzie is an insufferable Pick Me, which she was in the first season as well, so it's unforgivable that she didn't learn from her Pick Me mistakes. And the show keeps telling us she's a "good cop", SPARE ME. Shaw is the most insufferable, self-absorbed, narcissistic, manipulative, patronizing cop put to screen in at least a decade (and that's REALLY saying something). Good God, he is AWFUL. I can't tell if the show is aware of that or not? Which is not a good sign? I think they're trying to portray him as "flawed but ultimately good", and if that's the case, the writer that decided on that needs a psych check-in- if they're a woman, they're a Pick Me, and if they're a man, they're a loser. No two ways about it. As for the actual story, it was pretty bog standard. Nothing clever, nothing thrilling. Two stories that have been done a million times before, and have CERTAINLY been done better by MANY of those prior attempts.

Never has a female police officer had to put up with so much rudeness and disrespect from her colleagues and superiors but she carries on stoically and proves all their doubts wrong. Multi-layered plots and high stakes make both series 1 and 2 absolutely compulsive viewing. Delighted to see Jimmy Akinbola in something again - I used to love him as the homeless man in Rev, and had lost sight of his career, but here he's utterly different - a strong, capable cop with a little...moral flexibility. Emmet Scanlan is a nasty piece of work as the chief and is so convincing, I can't imagine him ever playing nice. The politics of the police are gripping, and the crimes, horribly plausible. See more William D 10/19/2023 Truly dreadful, one of the worst pieces of script writing I think I have ever seen. I thought I would give the second series a chance following a fairly ok first series, what a mistake. Avoid at all costs and save yourself 4 hours of your life.

Loved her in Game of Thrones, where she chewed up screen like a hurricane, stealing every scene, and she's mostly doing it again here, and that's hard to get my head around as well, considering the immense acting talent around her. This show already sits firmly in my top five, maybe top three TV shows of all time. Broadchurch is in that rarified air too. The Brits, they have it down, man. It makes sense that the best acting and production comes from the land of the Bard, where the whole thing started. It's difficult to process how great this is. I am in awe.
