Wow. Broadchurch......WOW! UK drama, two spectacular seasons.

[NRaleighLiberal]

We just binge watched both seasons on Netflix streaming. Second time for the first season - just brilliant. But we watched season 2 for the first time.

it is so refreshing to see a show that is not afraid to be patient, gradual, complex - and not treat the audience like they are idiots. It certainly took some effort to untangle the thick accents from some of the characters (David Tennant!).

One of the best series we've seen in a long time.

We wouldn't even touch the US version - just based on a tendency for US remakes to butcher excellent foreign movies and series.

1. Agree! EOM

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. The British version was great; the US version was OK but not as good.

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. I know they are now doing season 3....hopeful that they can keep quality going

[pkdu]

4. It truly is an awesome series in every way...and season 3 is airing on UK television right now

Started 27th Feb 2017...will be here soon!

5. did you watch The Killing? That was pretty spectacular too.

[pkdu]

7. Did not see that , will def check it out....did you watch "The Fall" or "Shetland"

Both brilliant BBC crime dramas as good as Broadchurch?

The Fall had Gillian Anderson (excellent) and Jamie Dornan (creepy/excellent)
Shetland has so far been based on the novels of Ann Cleeves

[NRaleighLiberal]

8. LOVED the Fall! Will seek out Shetland

We also loved the Helen Mirren Prime Suspect series, and Robson Green's Touching Evil.

12. Yes! I forgot I have the whole Prime Suspect DVD collection on DVD...need to watch some..

Another great series in US is "Bloodline" its great...2 seasons out on Netflix..final season comes out later this year

and then they made a US version which is actually very good, mostly due to the 2 leads

9. awesome!!!! - eom

The Codebreakers - I believe that is the title...took place during WW11 England....some mighty fine writing -

[asiliveandbreathe]

6. IF is UK drama it is excellent..so many UK productions

on netflix..and yes, it does take effort re thick accent..but you do get used to it..30 years at the telco taught me a lot about listening skills..southerners for instance..no offense to southerners -

10. I had watched the first two seasons and loved it.

I've seen the first two episodes of season three and think they are keeping the quality going...great show.
I generally prefer British mysteries and period pieces. The sets and costumes and general attention to detail
seems a step or two above most US produced shows. Another one I just finished the first season of is called
Taboo. A bit violent but intriguing plot line and characters.

11. Check out Luther and River. Both great great shows. n/t
