Broadchurch new series.

I enjoyed it, whilst it had lost some of the essence of the first that made it so good, I still think it was highly watchable and would definitely view a third series in the hope that it would be up to par with the original.

I agree with you terri although I am rather relived its over for now - a bit harrowing in parts.

Please..someone....
Why did Joe kill Daniel ?

Forgot to say I loved the David Tennant and Olivia Coleman pairing so glad they are both coming back in the new series. Yes Teetime as you say it was harrowing in parts.

But did Joe do it? Jury found him not guilty. Maybe the detectives got it wrong and Joe was covering up for someone else, but who? Could be the central question for series 3. Good drama I really enjoyed it although some scenes were a bit harrowing as Teetime said.

Coolgran65 - If I remember rightly, the implication was that Joe and Daniel were having a "relationship" although it wasn't clearly defined, Joe was going through a bad time with his own father Mark at the time and had turned to Joe. I believe Daniel taunted Joe and then he strangled him.

It was implied that there was a lot of 'petting' going on. Joe said repeatedly that he loved Daniel, Daniel was the only person who really understood him. Daniel wanted to call it off, Joe was very upset, refused to let him go, and Daniel then threatened to tell about the relationship. At one point there was a shot of them talking, from behind, and Daniel was sitting on Joe's lap. All that was in series 1, of course.

Well providing you were prepared to suspend all belief in how the judicial system and the police actually work I suppose it was OK. But the holes in it were so huge! Miller magically restored to detective status cos Alex wanted her to sit in on the interview (what happened to traffic cop?). Major suspect in a case refitted floor and got rid of old one and none of the neighbours noticed. Oh it was all so contrived. Sorry don't want another series.

I think the Miller/Coleman combo would be better suited to a more gentle Cagney and Lacey type police drama. 'The Killing' Scandinavian type approach doesn't work with West Country accents imo.

rose you said you would let me know what happened? Did you not see the final one?

David Tennant seems to like beaches doesn't he? He had a kiss with Rose on a beach in Dr. Who.

Although the awful beard was not in appearance in that.
