Oh god, Broadchurch!

Watched episode three last night.

FUCK.

My heart was pounding for a good fifteen minutes after it was over (much like it did when I watched the final episode of "The Escape Artist"), and it's starting again as I think about it.

No spoilers here. Just... FUCK.

DUDE. Need to see!! *Fans self*

Yes, you do! It was just... wow.

[dm12.livejournal.com]

I have to agree with you there, even if I thought that might happen... still very shocking.

[shivver13.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I thought it might, too, but wow!

[dm12.livejournal.com]

There's a lot of things so far that I thought might happen (and did), but it's all in the way it's portrayed, and the actors are doing a really great job of it! The same concept applies here as it did last season. It's not necessarily about the events themselves, but how it affects the people on a gut level.

"It's not necessarily about the events themselves, but how it affects the people on a gut level."

Exactly. And it's why Gracepoint was completely unremarkable, because it tried to be a murder mystery.

This seems to be the general opinion of tumblr, too. I strolled into the #broadchurch tag for larfs just after episode 2 in fact, and it was full of single-word text posts just reading FUCK in all capital letters. lol.

You know, I was so afraid, before the season started, that they wouldn't be able to maintain the intensity of the show that made the first season so good, especially because I was absolutely sure it wasn't going to be another murder mystery. My fears have been alleviated. They have outdone themselves so far.

I just caught up this afternoon and my jaw hit the floor, yep.

*mutters to self* No spoilers, no spoilers.

[dm12.livejournal.com]

I know! So hard to discuss this without spoilers.

It really is! My best friend, who also works at the same place I do, isn't going to watch it until it hits BBC America, and it's just horrible to walk in every Tuesday and gush, "OMG IT WAS JUST AWESOME BUT I CAN'T TELL YOU WHY!" I told her what happened in the first episode, but haven't since, and it's killing me!

Every time I think about this last episode, my heart starts pounding again. Gah.

[flowsoffire.livejournal.com]

Wow. Sounds brilliant :D

[shivver13.livejournal.com]

It is! Amazingly so! I was so afraid that season 2 couldn't possibly be as good as season 1, but it might actually be better.

Fantastic! I know I won't have time to check it out, but I'm excited on my mother's behalf, she loves it… ;) (And I'll hear all about the great stuff anyway, so…)
