Released in 2013 - 2017.
Plot line: When the corpse of an 11-year-old British boy, Danny Latimer, is found bloodied and dirty on an idyllic beach, a small Dorset community becomes the focus of a police investigation and media madness. Out-of-town Detective Inspector Alec Hardy gets the point position over Detective Sgt. Ellie Miller, who feels the job should have been hers. Now she must engage in an efficient working relationship with taciturn Hardy. Slowly, more members of the community of Broadchurch are drawn into the investigation, with a telephone engineer drawing great attention when he admits to a special connection to the case. While dealing with so much unwelcome attention, Danny's family tries to cope with its grief. When a suspect is named and charged, the ensuing trial sees the defendant promising to expose more of the townspeople's secrets.
I'm late to this party, but when I heard the main female lead had been selected to continue on as QE2 in The Crown, figured it was time to get familiar with her body of work. This is a police procedural, but the story unfolds over the season. I really like the exploration of small town dynamics, and how everyone has something to hide. Everyone. I watched this on Netflix, and as I've said before, I really love being able to watch TV from other parts of the world, as they have such a different styles of telling a story.
You can see the trailer here. If you have yet to see it, this is TV worth watching.
