"I already watched and adored the original UK version of this show, Broadchurch, so I have to admit: I DON'T GET IT. (Sorry for shouting, but I have EMOTIONS about this one.) Why would I watch the same show, scene for scene, shot by shot, for a few episodes (with different actors), and then watch the writers tinker the storyline, just to try to make it different, so they can make money in the U.S.? The first series was perfect. Why not just air Broadchurch here? Doing a skewed new version of it feels like blasphemy and I just can't get past it. Apparently I'm a card-carrying Broadchurch purist! AHEM. All that said, 99.9 percent of you have never seen the original series and for you, GRACEPOINT IS PROBABLY THE BEST NEW DRAMA THIS FALL. Sorry for burying that lead. I'm just working through some issues here, guys. And I'm so jealous of all of you who haven't seen the original yet! I hope you enjoy the ride."—Kristin
