My complaint about Broadchurch is that they didn't know the nature of the old man's offense without him telling them? There was no file on this? Maybe they said something I didn't notice about not being able to get it.
I got stabbed, you know, right here.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

No. Not you. Why didn't they look into that at all? Cops and journalists both?
The fact that there were no details AT ALL and that no one seemed to be looking for any told me right off it was clearly unrelated. But it was painful watching it play out.

I think that may have been the point.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Huh. I've yet to watch the finale, but I have been watching the rest of the series. It's very good. But at base I think it's kind of The Killing if season 1 had been done right. It doesn't stand out as exceptionally bleak by television, small-town has dark secrets that come out in crisis standards.
This is pretty much how I feel too. I just watched the finale tonight, and for whatever reason, neither it or the series as whole hit me as hard as it seems to have hit other people.

What I liked about Broadchurch (and The Killing, that's a good comparison) is that it treats all the characters with compassion, even when they are doing terrible things. And that ends up very sad (unless it goes wrong like The Killing did for me and I end up not caring anymore).

What the hell was that Two Days Earlier on Criminal Minds for? Just to annoy me?

CSI: was there an explanation of all the codes, or why the circles of hell? I kind of stopped paying attention partway through.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Uh...I don't think so? Admittedly, I kind of tuned out too.
