I need help with the name of a TV series

There were two versions, UK and US. The show was set in a seaside town and the show began with the discovery of the body of a little kid on the beach at the base of a cliff.

Doctor Who was the detective in both series.

I'm having a brain fart with the name of this show, particularly the British version which IMO was superior.

Can anyone clue me in?

...is going to be a second season. I was surprised. I assumed it was just a one-time mini-series.

Season 2 of Broadchurch has been on all the torrent sites for weeks. It ended in the UK about 3-4 weeks ago.

I didn't like the first few episodes of season 1 so don't really watch but season is a completely different story according to UK papers but there is some reference to season 1 and a trial.

It would be hard for me to watch it in any format since I forgot the name of the show.

Plus I'm not technologically adept enough to get content from a torrent channel to my TV.

I can wait another month or so until it shows up on Netflix, Hulu or whatever.

I really like UK teevee shows so keep current with series I might want to try. Most make it to PBS or BBCAmerica (as Broadchurch does) but some never do. One has to find ways to sample these shows.

I was only kidding about being old. I'm getting up there and only meant to relate that there was some controversy about how season 2 of Broachurch related back to season 1.

1. Netflix and Hulu Plus both have great selections of Brit TV, partly but not entirely overlapping. I have also seen TV from France, Russia, Italy, Japan, Korea, Canada, Australia, and Latin America on Hulu Plus.

2. If you have a region-free player (costs about $20 more than a regular player of the same quality), you can order DVDs of British and other European TV from Amazon.UK.

3. AcornTV features not only British but also Canadian, Irish, Australian, and New Zealand programming.

4. MHz Worldview (on some cable systems and as an app or Roku channel): mostly English-language news from around the world but also a European (usually foreign language subtitled) drama ever evening.
