Broadchurch ITV/TV3 [** Spoilers **]

No surprise that ratings were down here

When the taxi driver asked him where he was going at the end, was I the only one expecting Davind Tennant to slowly turn to the camera and say "Sheffield"...followed by really dramatic music and a cut to Joe Millar sweating bricks on a train with a priest sat looking at him....then Series 3 could be all about DC Hardy following Joe around the North of England while Millar farts about on the beach in her orange jacket in Broadchurch.

Overall, it was reasonably entertaining but utterly ridiculous hokum.

If season 3 is based on scary nige or the stupid latimer family I won't watch
If it's based on the vicars dark past, now that would be good

Was it my over-active imagination, or was there a definite implication (or at least hint) at the start that the vicar and Joe had some sort of a secret between them?

I was certainly under the impression that some sort of a ring or other skulduggery was going to be revealed.

Maybe that's for series 3.......

This. The vicar's weirdness was telegraphed again and again throughout S1 & S2

It was a disaster of a series this year. The only surprise in the bag at the end was that it was so utterly unsurprising. They even didn't milk the cliff top location for drama, was I the only one expecting Joe to at least stare off into the middle distance comtemplating a run and jump off the edge?
And why did they bring the child up the cliff for the ever so slightly menacing show down with Joe?

I think series 3 will see romantic stirrings between the leads. I thought it was slightly hinted at that they were now on a new footing in their relationship, so far just respect but them awkwardly not knowing what to do with it seemed to belie the possibility of more. His wife definitely suspected growing feelings.
I think that storyline might be a bit stomach churning though myself.

If theres a next time I'll wait for reviews before I waste my time.

Is it alright to say here that I enjoyed Series 2? Hope that's not too blasphemous.
Obviously the first season was hard to match.
Thought they did a pretty good job of tying up a plot that was threatening to get out of control, with Lee and Clare.
Yeah maybe there was a little too much courtroom action, but on the whole, it still kept me gripped.
The two leads are great. The dynamic between them just about carried the series for me.

It's alright to say it, but only because you have a great username.

There's room for all opinions I think.:)

Went back to watch the second series recently after giving up two or three episodes into it during it's original run..

.. it was a real mess to be fair!

Not even sure I want to watch it, series 2 was rubbish

Filming of the third and final series has begun and Sir Lenny Henry has joined the cast.

After the disappointment of series 2 I won't be holding my breath.

DigiGuide has series 3 starting on ITV on Monday 27th February at 9pm

Lovely scenery its near where my parents live, so looking forward to gping back soon.
I dont think this will be a straight forward case.
I was hoping the husband from the other series wouldn't be in it as hes annoying

Mod: "Season 3" removed from thread title, so you can keep using this thread.

Excellent opener. Acting from "Hayley", sorry, was top notch. For a long time I thought she might actually be mute. Really showed the trauma. As usual, nice sprinkling of comedy in there too with Hardy and Millers bickering.

Now for 6 weeks of my gf saying, He done it, to every man that appears on screen.

I must be in a bad mood. I was definitely underwhelmed by tonight's episode, I feel like we've seen it all before.

2nd episode. dunno about the rest of you but finding this all a bit flat, bordering on uninteresting. ending with a cliched menacing text message as well says it all. maybe this formula is just too tired and overdone at this point.

How can one send an anonymous text message?

Always annoys me
