Broadchurch is a British television drama that was created and written by Chris Chibnall. Focusing around the death of an 11-year-old boy Danny Latimer and the impact it had on the small town of Broadchurch. 

Leading the case is detectives Alec Hardy (played by David Tennant) and Ellie Miller (played by Olivia Coleman) while they track down the killer. As suspects are bought to life from the recovering alcoholic pastor Rev. Paul Coates to Danny's dad Mark, the town and viewers are left wondering who it could possibly be. News starts to spread bringing attention to the case and the town and secrets start to get unburied.

In this real life murder mystery and being only 8 episodes a season it is very easy to binge watch and catch up... My housemate and I managed to watch the whole first season in one night (mainly because we were hooked and needed to find out what happened next).

Each episode is 50minutes long but we found it only felt like 10!

Season One premiered in 2013 and the second season is just over half way through here in the UK on ITV.

If you loved shows like Midsomer Murders, Silent Witness & Whitechapel then you'll love this!

For our American readers Gracepoint is the American remake of Broadchurch.
