    Depicting a harrowing sexual assault with emotional depth and gritty realism, Series 3 encapsulates everything that makes Broadchurch such a phenomenal show.

    The weakest of the 3 seasons, I found the storyline to be drawn out and the victim's character and plotline to be unbelievable. Otherwise, the same great atmosphere, setting and acting from the series regulars.

    this season does not reach the high levels of the first two but it gives a closure to the story. First season and how the criminal is caught second season and how the justice system fails and third season and the consecuences for the family in particular and the society in general.

    Season 3 of Broadchurch got back to what made the first season enjoyable: realistic detective work. This season's case isn't solved very easily, and Miller and Hardy have to slowly peel back layer after layer to get to the truth. I was satisfied with the conclusion. However, Danny's family is still woven into the story in what seems like a forced way, and I have some issues with how theSeason 3 of Broadchurch got back to what made the first season enjoyable: realistic detective work.

It's a solid detective show set in a location different from most in the same genre, but it's not a game changer by any means.… Expand

    so disappointing! after loving the first 2 seasons, this one is a purely an emotional story of wrapup of prior characters and the lessons how evil porn, rape and men in general are. very little detective work. very little logic. not my cup of tea

    This season is painfully terrible. None of the cues matter. The rapist is a random character that had roughly 2 minutes of screen time. The level of blunt misandry is through the roof. And the casting... a bunch of young handsome men all pursuing, stalking or having sex with the same absolutely hideous old woman... what the actual heck?

    Broadchurch wraps up a three-season arc by pulling off an ambitious storyline about rape that is as devastating as it is instructive.

    Naturally some Broadchurch fans are bound to be disappointed if this mystery’s resolution doesn’t deliver a gut punch that feels as impactful as the Latimer case; such is the way of series endings. But it’s tough to find fault in Colman’s and Tennant’s portrayal of partnership.

    Broadchurch accomplishes the whodunit in a wholly engaging, yet socially aware manner, anchored by its devotion-inspiring leads.
