New case, new people, new places, but still feels the same!

Hi, it has been some time since I have made this kind of post. Little over two years in fact. Well it’s Monday, and that means Broadchurch-day!

CAN CONTAIN SPOILERS!!!

The most dysfunctional detective duo is back, and the grumpy DI Hardy is back in charge!

As with the series 3 start, the dynamic feels new but still the same… if you can understand me. Series 2 ended with a surprising verdict and revelation about another case.

Now it has been three years, and we are or I should say Hardy and Miller is back on a new case… this time not a murder, but a sexual attack.

Victim: Trish Winterman

Suspect: an unknown male

We are back to who dunnit… Trish was attacked by an unknown man or is he someone she knows, now that we find out that she was attacked at her friend’s birthday party. We (and Hardy & Miller) are left with a lot of questions and not a lot of answers as of yet!

This time we meet some new people, but the people in Broadchurch still pop up – like the Lattimers… Beth is counseling, and she is now connected to Trish because she is the counselor to Trish’s case, and Mark is still not over the death of Danny… he really has a hard time moving on, and maybe (SPOILER ALERT) that’s why Beth and Mark is not living together.

That’s Broadchurch for you even though it’s new and a new case there is still of the old lurking under the surface… but also there is some new strange people coming in – really Trish’s friends acts weird when they get the news about an attack at the party… not acting like friends, but rather like people with something to hide.

Verdict: 4/6 stars
