Of course it is fair to critique acting styles, etc. - for Gracepoint.
And it's fair to use Broadchurch as a comparison to Gracepoint.

There is a line there.. that much I'll agree with you about. But, I find it totally fair to talk about Broadchurch in comparison to Gracepoint.

Because you've become tiresome. And I don't give a single turd about your vaunted Broadchurch, a show I never watched and now never will watch. Not one.
I agree. I've not seen Broadchurch and I don't care about the comparisons.

This show is bad on it's own merits, it doesn't need to be compared to a better show to point that out.

After watching tonight's episode I'm going to take my first guess as to who killed Danny. I will say that

Spoiler
Miller's husband, Joe, did it. For no good reason other than every character is acting suspiciously and holding secrets, whereas he's the only normal one who has no visible neurosis. Therefore, he's guilty.


Anybody else agree with me?

renault, My hubby thinks that Joe's kid did it. The kid is hiding something.

Everyone in that town is dysfunctional !

BTW, any guess someone makes is not a spoiler in my book. It would be different if you had read some behind the scenes info.

I think the pacing is very slow. If it were a novel I would have skipped the middle and just gone to the end. As it is, I'm going to have to stick it out.

Among other annoyances, I find it strange that Danny's mother never brushes her hair, not even for a press conference.

The Mom is pregnant...with whose baby? Obviously something went on way-back-when with the minister. Probably a high school romance? For some reason I'm thinking Mom and minister had a recent hook-up and it could be his baby. Anyone else thinking along these lines?
I believe she tells husband about pregnancy next week. Should be interesting. Maybe she'll brush her hair after that?! LOL

I agree about the mom band the priest. I can overlook the hair. The lady just lost her kid.

I fell asleep during the last episode.

I guess I am in the minority. I think Gracepoint is unusually well-done for an American series, almost on the level of The Killing which I really do miss . The majority of the acting is fine , not as adept as Broadchurch , but much better than most shows on American television & yes, I agree that a few of the male actors look so much alike that it is difficult to tell them apart.
