Broadchurch

And we're back to the doom and gloom. Crime and drama, depression, deep dark secrets--this show has it all.

--BUT--

Broadchurch is completely bingeworthy. Despite the weight of the content, it keeps you wanting to know what happens next.

My biggest complaint was the gap between the end of season one and season two being released. Many questions were left unanswered in the first season. The main plot of the series was well concluded, but some character development seemed to be lacking. All fears were allayed when season two came out, but boy was it a long wait.

Then there's this...

I don't even have to tell you, he said it himself.

But for real, David Tennant is fantastic. Many are familiar with him now because of Jessica Jones, Doctor Who, or Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Some may be surprised to find that he's also a Shakespearean actor... or maybe you're not surprised, because he's so freaking good. Regardless of whether you're familiar with him or have never heard of him before, he alone is worth sitting down and watching this show from beginning to end.

Olivia Colman plays the foil to David Tennant's character so that you can't imagine anyone else being in the part. Her character anchors the show to a kind of reality most anyone can relate to. 

And she's so darn likable!

The chemistry between the two characters is what keeps this show from being entirely too dark. There's humor in the doom, and it works perfectly.
