All’s not-so-well that ends not-so-well on this mediocre Fox drama. True, I haven’t seen the BBC’s version (called “Broadchurch”) but others have said that this American version is sometimes a scene-for-scene remake, and has been a pretty faithful adaptation, and it makes me wonder why that show became such a phenomenon.
Anyway, the show wasn’t worth watching after Nick Nolte’s character died and it really wasn’t worth watching in the last few episodes (with all the most interesting characters dead and Jessica Lucas’ character hopelessly marginalized). I (correctly) predicted who would be charged for Danny’s murder back around episode 2, and I wish I hadn’t kept watching after that point. And David Tennant’s detective character is relentlessly unlikable and a sure-fire contender for my “Worst Characters of the Year” list. Grade for Series: D+…Grade For Series Finale: C-
