Always fun to have a bit of a Rample, though.... no?"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

It is absolute nonsense . There are no solicitors involved at all in Broadchurch who of course choose the counsel they have to conduct the trial . The first episode suggested that nobody would want to act for the defendant - rubbish - murder briefs would have had the local criminal bar and London all fighting over it - the confession was excluded for nonsensical reasons . Then we have counsel for the prosecution summoning police officers to her house , without the CPS present m, to rant at them about OC attacking her husband and as for the poor parents of the victim inviting all the witnesses and counsel round for a pre-trial drink ….
It is a shame as the first series was really gripping .Comment

Google Broadchurch and then hit the News tab ... :-)It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.Comment

Gave it one more try.
I'm trying to imagine the phone call from the agency. "You don't have to learn any lines. All you have to do is smile, eat some chips, have sex with Olivia Coleman and and grunt a lot".

From intriguing, well-plotted detective + drama in series 1, this has become a frenetic, over-plotted, poorly detailed mess. And what on EARTH Charlotte Rampling has added to the mix, I totally fail to see.
Now, every single character seems to have had a sub-plot annexed. Which tells me that the writers are under pressure to develop something closer to an American series for the US distribution, because what else is there to this series? Where#s the real steel in the central core plot? It's a black meringue. And if it was going to be about a court room drama, then you need a far more aggressive, hard-hitting prosecution counsel than thr wet spaghetti that Rampling is showing, and as for the Judge - how the hell she is letting the defence get away with it I fail to see. I wonder hos many JPs., magistrates, judges nationwide watching the series are gasping with incredulity.
They've stacked the cast with 'names' and the result is a complete script-farrago disaster shambles, and the original characters are just sitting in the court room spectating. They've emasculated and discredited the whole brand. .Comment

It is a disaster - I am afraid smacks very much of writer pulled off brilliant series 1 so he has been allowed to run riot in series 2 without any proper research .Comment

I agree totally with Draco, far too many subplots crammed into last night's episode. Rampling's character is obviously going blind (age related or brain tumour?) so will she, and therefore trial, collapse? What has the other barrister's son done that he has to serve another 6 years, how is this relevant to the original killing? So Claire is not now in witness protection but a suspect, what do we really know about Sandbrook? No, it's too much of a frantic mish-mash at the moment, and that's not mentioning the ludicrous portrayal of how the legal system actually operates.Comment
