The Return of a Crime Drama Classic
It was the crime drama that sparked countless water cooler conversations for weeks, turning the British public into eager armchair detectives for a few months. The award-winning show is making its long-awaited return via Netflix next month, 12 years after it first aired on ITV.
Set in a quiet, fictional coastal town, the series follows the murder investigation of 11-year-old Danny Latimer, who was found dead on a beach. Starring Olivia Colman and David Tennant as detectives, the show delves into the close-knit community's secrets while navigating the professional tension between the two leads.
A Highly Acclaimed Series
The show ran for three seasons and consistently received high praise from critics. Season 1 earned an impressive 94% on the Tomatometer, while season 2 scored 84%. Season 3 topped them all with a remarkable 98%.
When Will Broadchurch Be Available on Netflix?
Broadchurch has been added to the ‘Worth the Wait’ section on Netflix, where upcoming additions are teased. It’s set to be available on November 18, just under a month from now. The show’s addictive quality makes it the perfect thrilling watch to enjoy during the winter months.
Episodes are also available to stream on ITVX.
Why Did Broadchurch Become a Hit?
Not only is the show fronted by the legendary David Tennant and Olivia Colman, but the cast also includes other British television icons. Jodie Whittaker plays the bereaved mother, while Jonathan Bailey stars as a local journalist working on the story. Line of Duty royalty, Vicky McClure, appears in season one, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge has a role in season two.
Brits were hooked from the start, as each episode introduced new suspects and characters who might have been involved in Danny Latimer’s death. The twist at the end shocked audiences, who didn’t see it coming, creating intense intrigue around how the story would unfold.
Google Reviewer Deb Armstrong called it “intense and riveting,” adding, “You just cannot wait for the next one to start. I am really good at guessing who the murderer or culprit is in movies, but not this one.”
Kitty Black remarked, “It’s brilliant but utterly heartbreaking all at the same time.” Meanwhile, Jeevithan Ramesh called it “one of the best crime thrillers [he’s] ever watched.”
