“The acting here is first-rate, and the two adversarial cops investigating the case – Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) – despise each other just enough to create a palatable tension." - The New York Post

"Broadchurch, an eight-part drama on BBC America (Wednesday, 10 p.m.), is a textbook example of excellent writing, well-developed and complicated characters, superb acting, a perfect sense of place and, perhaps most important, just the right number of hours to tell a murder mystery without unnecessary padding or corner-cutting cheats." - The Hollywood Reporter


“Complex Broadchurch is bloody good.
“As the Brits might say: Brilliant. Granted, the word doesn’t mean quite the same thing in Britain, as our U.K cousins tend to use it for everything from ‘thanks’ to ‘awesome’ to, well, ‘brilliant’. Luckily, when it comes to BBC America’s new eight-hour import Broadchurch, all those meanings apply: we can all be grateful for a series this awe-inspiringly exceptional.” - USA Today
