MNPD assemble! It's Broadchurch time

[EauRouge]

Notebooks at the ready We should have enough information at the end of the first episode to start cooking up some slightly implausible theories.

Is there a welsh connection?

Gruesome unhappy fake shagging (bleurgh). Just don't think OCs character would have gone through with that.

But this is ITV and she has a Bad Husband. Therefore she must do anything necessary to redeem herself while DT just looks tortured and have a Mystery Illness.

Cringey court scene

itsgoing
Yes I'm with you on that theory

This is terrible. Fucking irresponsible.

Ohhhh, yes. The Jury are bound to be more interested in the Goss.

And again the music to cover up the crappy acting

Hang on so where was the crucial piece of evidence that Ellie supposedly was meant to discover this episode?

Meh. I don't have high standards in TV drama but ffs.

Not watching next week. What a load of crap.

And why did the barrister not object to any of those ridiculous questions?

I can't believe what utter cobblers this series is. Very disappointed

This is the most crap thing ever. Even the stupid sub plot of the Blind Driving Barrister and the Gritty Mother of an Inmate.

Absolute shite!

Is it written by the same people who wrote s1?

I enjoyed that...what happened???? I still can't follow the two stories. Did she do it with him in the two hours? I can't remember...what's my name?

I still love it! Question though to those in the know - how realistic is it that a defense lawyer will just try to make out an affair from limited evidence?

Yeah what was the crucial piece of evidence leading to a race against time?

Not realistic at all

Am I missing something? Didn't Ellie's husband admit to this already? Is he claiming he didn't do it now? Did he want a trial just to air everyone's dirty washing before he goes down for it?

I still love it too, cricketballs!

I can't believe that everyone in the room knows that he confessed, yet they're banging on about Ellie and DT having plotted to frame him (whilst shagging!)!

So the last two cliff hangers were anticlimaxes - exhumation of body: oh, we didn't find anything, and two suspects fleeing from house: oh, we just got a taxi home. And now Ellie's Sue Ellen quivering lip. Defence council lady will prob just say at beginning of next episode 'oh, I was only teasing' and drop the whole thing.
