Just wondering how much people enjoy either.
I really liked Broadchurch. It had a great feel and the casting and acting was fairly spot-on all the way through. The story and roles seemed very cohesive.
I'm having trouble getting in to Gracepoint. The casting/acting is far weaker and the feel is off. I think part of it is the commercial break structure but teh style is just not as engaing. Anna Gunn would be fine, except she lacks Olivia Coleman's vulnerability. The priest is over-the-top creepy vs. Arthur Darvil's take on the role, and the change in the boys' club makes little sense. The English innkeeper seems more like a prop rather than a core character in the story where we're supposed to suspect "everyone". Even David Tennant's role (with surname change) seems much more shallow.
