-series 2-: Broadchurch

The Sandbrook mystery is overly convoluted (twists involving keys, a locket, a stolen ring, a lie about a pizza), and its resolution feels rushed and less emotionally earned than the Latimer case. It constantly pulls focus from the raw, immediate pain of Beth, Mark, and the Millers. II. The Trial: A Deliberate Subversion of Justice Chibnall intentionally avoids a satisfying courtroom drama. This is not 12 Angry Men . The trial is a brutal, slow-motion car crash of legal technicalities.
