There is a difference between glitz and style, one not often noted upon when there is money thrown at glitz as if it were the smart prospect in the room because it has the big name behind it, bravado mistaken for confidence, arrogance confused with grace, and one that can be the ruin of a franchise before it even starts; for in humility the viewer immersed in a series created on the back of one of the best selling books of all time will be enthralled and not overwrought with the smell of perfume disguising the smell of rotten meat.

It is no wonder that David Tennant’s character, D.I. Alec Hardy, has been showing all the signs of a man crumbling under the pressure when the viewer considers all of what has been happening in the town of Broadchurch. It runs much deeper than that though; this is a man who has been carrying the mistakes of others, including so it appears, his ex-wife’s, a long protracted investigation whilst still trying to deal with a family who he let down before and now the sound of a ticking clock, both in health terms and in his career.
