The trial begins, and it's immediately clear that Joe's conviction is in doubt following the unorthodox arrest and confession.
When people look back on Broadchurch, Series two is often seen as the poor relation, the least enjoyable of the three series. However I did enjoy the early episodes quite a lot.
Part two, what it does very successfully, is to get under your skin, it leaves you frustrated and angry, baffled by what's allowed in a Court, where a man who's confessed to murder, is allowed to have an expensive trial.
It's good, it's very watchable, I would argue it does get a little bit muddled at the end, there are too many strands, too many events happening for it to feel cohesive or believable. It needed to be stripped back a little.
Tennant is brilliant, but the two barristers steal this one for me, Charlotte Ramping, Marianna Jean Baptiste, spot on.
Watchable, but not a patch on series one. 7/10.
