Broadchurch

England   serial

Very fine murder drama. An 11 yo boy is found strangled on the beach - we watch as the social ramifications of the killing reverberate through a small, insular town. We follow a dozen or so characters including the family of the boy, the police investigators and possible suspects.

The drama is peppered with red herrings which maintain the viewers' interest as the long (8 hours) story evolves. Acting, editing, dialogue and cine were all first rate...as good as you'll see in a feature film.

Of all the TV series I've seen thus far this was the best.
