Twin Peaks On Sea

As so often we are a little behind the times and Sharon and I only got around to watching Broadchurch in three solid sittings this week. One word - brilliant. Does Olivia Colman ever do anything that isn't top notch?

The blog title alludes to Twin Peaks, that legendary piece of event television from two decades back. Well I loved Twin Peaks with its mixture of suspense and idiosyncrasy but I think Broadchurch is actually better, which puts it right up there with the best television ever made. The new series starts on Monday and it has a a hard act to follow. The second series of Twin Peaks was not as good as its first even though it left the unmasking of the killer until that second (and final) series.
