    + the performances, especially Olivia Colman's
    + a decent finale

    - far too many annoying courtroom scenes
    - uninteresting Sandbrook storyline
    - lacks the suspense of the first season

    The season no one needed came off not as bad as i thought it would. Focusing on the previous seasons case alongside the Sandbrook murders was an error. The sanbrook killings arc was more of an annoyance than anything that wuld keep me at the edte of my seat,i didn't care about anyone involved or the eventual resolution. Performance wose this season was on par with the first with OliviaThe season no one needed came off not as bad as i thought it would.

Performance wose this season was on par with the first with Olivia Coleman grief-stricken performance a hundred times better! The courtroom scenes serve as vehicles to pick apart perceived plot holes from the first season. The writing was weak, nothing epse really… Expand

    I don't like the second season of the series, because of the whole trial. way too boring. I want a crime series like the first season, not a pathetic beef between lawyers . First season was very good though

    Mostly it’s great to see Tennant and Colman try to put back the pieces of the wrecked lives of Hardy and Miller.

    Given how wonderful its first season was, the fact that Broadchurch has turned into such a muddle is the bigger disappointment. Despite the usual array of finely calibrated performances, the second season simply doesn't work, in large part because it consciously and deliberately undoes much of what was powerful about the shattering conclusion to the first season.

    The new elements and mostly the performances make it worth staying around to see what other secrets lurk within.
