When the body of 11-year-old Danny Latimer is found on Broadchurch beach, the small Dorset town is rocked forever. DI Alec Hardy (David Tennant) - still haunted by the collapse of a previous murder case he worked on - is put in charge, much to the chagrin of local officer DS Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman). Their investigation sees many townspeople come under suspicion, but the ultimate discovery of the killer’s identity has far-reaching consequences for everyone.
