Broadchurch who is guilty

The vicar then explained he had spread the word around the town, as other fires could be seen igniting across the shoreline. Now Read: How much do the Celebrity Gogglebox stars get paid? See more More Showbiz.

Broadchurch series one: Who killed Danny Latimer? He wanted much more suspense built into the series. Alec's tracking of Danny's phone takes nearly four minutes, which had audiences sitting on the edges of their seats as they waited to find out who Danny's murderer was. Most didn't notice how different this was from a typical British mystery. The continued refrain that Miller was too close to the case was another clue in the series. The obvious takeaway was that she was too close because it concerned her close friends, and there is plenty of support for that in every episode.

In a small community, that's bound to happen. We discover, of course, that she was too close in a much darker fashion, sleeping in the same bed with the enemy without ever even suspecting it. Even though Miller scrutinized everyone in town to the point of severing bonds and burning bridges, she failed to apply that same lens to her own husband.

Joe visits the town skate park not once but twice, and this dramatic irony should have alerted fans to something being amiss in these scenes. Danny's skateboarding was a prominent focus in the series and Joe's fixation with the park was another of his many red flags. Looking back following the end of the series, we can easily recognize these moments not only as times when Joe obviously wanted to be around other teen boys, giving us the heebie jeebies, but times when he might have even been considering grooming another victim.

This makes us cringe thinking of season two, not only because he got away with it but because another child could be in danger from him. Of all the people Miller incredulously interrogated, one of the worst was Susan Wright, whose husband abused and murdered their daughter. Miller was disgusted upon learning that Wright didn't even notice the behavior under her own house, insisting that if something that terrible were happening, you should definitely know about it just by living in proximity to it.

We wondered the same. In the final episode, Joe Miller was pronounced not guilty but faced the communal punishment of being banished from Broadchurch, a place most people would spend their lives trying to avoid. The third series would be its last.

It should have gone on for 13 years like Inspector Morse, or even 27 like Taggart, but never fulfilled its early promise. Also thank you to Chris Chibnall for not trying to force a romance between them.

We didn't get to see Cath or her husband Jim, or the aftermath of Lindsay finding out the truth of her sons's crime, either, or frankly what might have come of Ed's obsession with Trish though Trish's ex Ian seemed to making a play for her affections again. It wasn't completely necessary to the plot, but Broadchurch puts its characters first so often that when plot threads are left dangling, it is noticeable. Another thing of note that was not properly explored: the kids of Broadchurch are definitely not alright.

I'm not suggesting a fourth season, but there's definitely plenty of material to thematically explore around that. So what did you think of the Broadchurch Season 3 finale? Were you satisfied with it, and with it wrapping everything from the series as a whole? But whether you watched the final season or not, here are some notes on how everything ended up: The Crime.
