Anyone have a guess when PBS will start showing this in the states? Or, will it be BBC America?

It looks like it's going to be on BBC America, but I've searched the schedule, and no results came up, and I haven't been able to find anything definitive about a US air date.

The new storyline is promising, but as someone who loathed Broadchurch's second season I could do with a bit less (as in none of) the Latimers this time round. To say their storyline has been milked dry is a bloody understatement.

I wish there was a soundtrack-only option, or they filmed a version where everybody went through all the same motions, but nobody spoke.

I thought the idea of doing a second season was madness, but I liked what they did with it. A third season, a brand-new case ... seems superfluous, but Chibnall's earned enough goodwill with me that I'm willing to see how it plays out. Still, I'm glad that he'll be too busy with Doctor Who for a while to keep coming back to the well.

Julie Hesmondhalgh as Trish is just amazing.

I'm going to make a Broadchurch town seal with the slogan "It's nothing to do with what happened."

Jesus, these investigations would take half the time if people would stop saying that mess over and over.

Yes, the casting of that role is the best thing about this whole season.
