A.I. overview:

Broadchurch season two divides viewers. Some find it a compelling continuation of the story, with strong performances and new mysteries, while others feel it lacks the impact of the first season, particularly due to the courtroom drama and the introduction of the Sandbrook case.  Many critics and viewers found the courtroom scenes less engaging and the Sandbrook case less compelling than the initial murder. 

That’s fair.

Great TV — but not as brilliant as season 1.

On the other hand, the cast is even better in season 2 (2015).

Phoebe Waller-Bridge has a bigger role.

Charlotte Rampling was fantastic as Jocelyn Knight Q.C., the prosecutor. The role was written specifically for her.

Still — highly recommended TV.
