A *lot* of people in the UK are very worried about the future of Doctor Who. Series 3 of Broadchurch was going to be the big 'return to form' for Chibnall but after a reasonably positive start, the critics really went to town on it. I don't think anyone bought the 'Chibnall has redeemed himself' line after eight weeks…

It does change as the "mystery" kicks in but another whole misery porn subplot then takes over and you get twice the angst and over emoting! The first episode is probably the best plotted and paced so if you are finding it hard to bear already, believe me you will be losing the will to live soon enough. Bear in mind…

As mentioned above, this is by far the weakest of the three in terms of Hardy Miller interactions. They feel sidelined and underused throughout and it shows in both Tennant's and Colman's performances. Both feel very "off". If that is what you are most looking forward to in Broadchurch 3, then you will be very…

It is better than series 2 certainly but that is possibly one of the poorest bits of television drama this decade, so it's a low bar. The misogyny "stuff" in series 3 sadly is so overwrought that it kills the good work in the series about sexual violence and is probably the biggest single failure of the show. Such a…

Certainly it's not very good but hardly the awful joke that was series 2. Unfortunately Chris Chibnall's usual inability to land his finales negates the few good things which really shine. I suspect American audiences will really dislike this series much more than those in the UK.

Really disappointing for Hardy Miller fans. Completely wasted in this. Hard to think of more than one or two good moments. Even series 2 served them better. Real shame the series leaves you feeling so underwhelmed.

Series 3 starts well but quickly starts to exhibit all of Chris Chibnall's weaknesses. These glowing reviews are highly misleading. While not the trainwreck that series 2 was, series 3 sadly fails to redeem this franchise. As some have hinted below, there is one plot point which will madden and frustrate you. Chris…
