Saw the ITV detective drama Broadchurch, featuring an unshaven David Tennant investigating the death of a young boy at a coastal British town. Liked it more than the original The Killing.
Oh my god that program was tedious, and the detectives in it were so stupid. The whole program seemed to drag out what could have been a 6 or even 4 episode drama to 8 episodes by the use of slow motion camera and dramatic music.
Absolutely dreadful, the only reason I watched it was the wife was, same with my colleague at work, and so we would both have a good moan about it in the morning pointing out the plot hole you could drive a truck through.
Terrible.
[sblock]Here's the format, man touches boy in a total none sexual way, switch to slow motion and play sinister music to make you think there is something more involved. Next week do the same thing for some other man in the village. Week before the final reveal drop a couple of clues about the real culprit so it doesn't look like they have just pulled it from their arse.
Meanwhile the lead detective is asked by his supervisor who his suspects are and he rattles off three men that may know the victim. Completely ignoring the fact that the woman who holds the keys to the murder scene, is being evasive, won't allow officers in her caravan without a warrant, was in the crowd when the body was found, is the only person you see smoking in the whole series and four cigarette ends were found by the body, they brush off a reporter that tries to bring evidence that she's changed her name and was linked to a previous child murder and tell her to do the legwork! She only gets pulled in for questioning after she implicates herself, and even then they take her story that she saw someone else dump the body at face value.[/sblock]
