Title: Broadchurch
Post by: Podaar on December 28, 2015, 10:23:52 AM: We binge watched season 2 last night and I was very satisfied with how it turned out. Season one was really good but left too much unexplained. All of that was wrapped up nicely in season two. Well done.

:clap:

We must all remember that I'm not particularly sophisticated. Your "thought-provoking" is likely my "bewildering" so, if season two engages in more handholding for the audience, it's no wonder that I liked it. :lol

Hopefully, Hef and Tio enjoy it too.

Post by: hefdaddy42 on June 02, 2016, 08:30:44 AM: So, I finally finished Season 2 this morning.

Wow, that was fantastic. I found that it held up really well to Season 1, I didn't think there was any letdown or fall-off in quality.

Maybe the best cast in TV. Such awesome performances of absolutely crushing material. I can't recommend this show highly enough.

Post by: Kotowboy on June 06, 2016, 09:34:10 AM: ::) The title of this show is so sexist.

Can we instead name it " Strong Independent Female Who Don't Need No Man Church " ?
