BBCA: Broadchurch
 

Premieres tonight on BBC America. Apparently quite well-received across the pond.

I have my DVR set to grab this tonight.
Heard it is already getting an american version made for next year.

Yeah, on Fox for the 2014-2015 season.

Anyone watch the first ep? How was it.

I will watch it tonight. Twitter had some good buzz going over it last night.

Finally got around to watching, thought it was really good.

First episode was really good.

Excellent show. Beautiful cinematography. Excellent acting. Fantastic writing.

I really hope David Tennant crosses over. He's an excellent actor and deserves a (quality) Hollywood leading role...

This reminds me of The Killing, but good.

I actually liked what I saw of this season's Killing. Thought it was much better than season 2.

I'm on the final episode and....

3 eps in and this show is great. I am ready for next weeks episode. Is this only a 6 episode show?

8 I think.

I watched the first six episodes this weekend and hope to finish it next weekend. Reminds me a bit of The Leftovers meets The Killing. My only problem with it is Tennant's character looks a like too much like Luke Hochevar for me.

Oh god, official trailer for Gracepoint is out:

Looks a lot worse.. cinemetography/stylistically inferior.. Broadchurch was shot like it was a motion picture whereas this looks like a TV show. Tennant's fake accent is not as bad as I expected but still a little cringeworthy at times.

Wait, so he's just playing the same role in the same story, but just on American TV?

What's the point?

They should have just bought the rights to Broadchurch.

Edit: Hopefully the killer is someone different than on Broadchurch. That would be pretty boring if it was the same person.

Yeah I dunno, apparently Broadchurch did really bad in BBC1 America and then FOX or whatever saw how successful it was in the UK and wanted to remake it with an American backdrop.. Pretty sure the core story will exactly be the same but they said they're taking it down a few different paths than the original. Tennant never really had any success in the US in his career so I'm sure he jumped at this (probably wrongfully) in order to reach a much larger audience.

Second season began last week on BBCA. On Wednesday nights. Just watched ep 1, looks like it's going to be good.

rly? it ended like last month in England (I just DL all the episodes as they came out)

Think I'll need to watch the end of season one again.

I ****ing hate Charlotte Rampling.

I'm still on board with this show, but the trial is beyond ridiculous. Just dumb.
