BBC AMERICA’s “Broadchurch,” which earned critical acclaim, including BAFTA nods, and broken records on Twitter in the UK, centers on the investigation into the murder of a young boy in a British seaside town.
Leading the investigation are two detectives – the strong yet compassionate local Detective Sergeant, Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman), and the by-the-book Detective Inspector Alec Hardy (David Tennant), Ellie’s newly appointed boss.
By circumstance they are partnered to solve the murder, keeping the newspapers from derailing the investigation and trying to prevent the crime from impacting tourism at the beach where the boy was murdered.
Broadchurch premieres Wednesday, August 7 at 10:00pm ET/PT as part of Dramaville.

Reviews
What “Broadchurch” has to offer, beyond its central performances and its intelligent but not particularly original plot, is mood: a tasty icing of gloom and foreboding that leans heavily on the music of Olafur Arnalds and the cinematography of Matt Gray

You should do everything you can to watch the exceptionally striking British miniseries “Broadchurch,” which was a big hit over there earlier this year and makes its debut here on BBC America on Wednesday night. It’s among the best detective shows — and perhaps even among the best dramas — in several years. It will break your heart and keep you guessing all the way through.

Broadchurch,” which premieres Wednesday at 10 p.m. on BBC America, may peter out by the end; that’s always a risk when it comes to elongated criminal cases on TV. As the shadow of suspicion falls on character after character, viewer burnout is a possibility. But the first few episodes of this import promise no slack — and plenty of poignancy — as the story line moves closer to the truth of the matter.
