Broadchurch Season One

[Dumbledork]

I finally started this the other night and I'm almost done with season one.

It's good. I like it, but if they make Rory Williams a murderer or accomplice or pedophile, I swear to goodness, I will sucker punch everyone who rec'd this show.

I don't think they will, but if this is a surprise twist, ooo boy.

I'm watching Season 2 as we speak -- it's really good too!

Which version? This is next on my list to start.

Definitely watch the BBC version!  I haven't even checked out the Gracepoint remake but David Tennant with his actual Scottish accent is not to be missed!

[Dumbledork]

Okay, whew. Maybe. I'll move on to season two soon and anything can happen.

He just seems shifty in this show. I keep thinking "Welcome back, Rory Williams!" Expecting him to finally be all good and loyal. But he's shifty. I don't like it.

Also, you know what? He totally has a dadbod, and he's still so lovely.

Oh, and BBC.

Is Arthur Darvill in the US version?

I think David Tennant is the only one who's in both.  I heard .5 seconds of his fake American accent and was like,

Me too!

We finished Season Two last night. Damn, that was good. When I heard there was going to be a Season Two, I was like, "Why? They tied everything up so well?" But Season Two was great, and So. Many. Kickass. Women. Characters. I didn't really realize it until the end, but it's like the typical 90% male casting you see is flipped. A courtroom where both barristers and the judge are all female? Sure! :-D

The BBC version is far superior to the American version, not least because the actors in the BBC version are less annoying. I wanted to stab half the American cast, including Danny's mother. DT's character is also less of a douche in the BBC version.

LOL @ Rory Williams. I had a tough time watching him in Broadchurch and not expecting him to suddenly be all awkward and fumbly.

ETA: I think the ending to the American version is more interesting.

I think the American version got cancelled before it even finished airing, it just doesn't compare to the UK version. Tennant's American accent was unbearable lol. I can't wait for Season 3 to come out already!!
