he didn't paint the bedroom because he was too busy murdering!

2 for 2 for Skylar. I hope fox has the guts to actually make Tom Miller the killer. I have only seen one episode of Broadchurch but Tom killing his "best friend" would be a great twist.

I have a question to those who have watched Broadchurch. I've been watching both series simultaneously -- watch an ep of Gracepoint and then watch the corresponding ep in Broadchurch, sometimes the other way around. There isn't an exact one-to-one correspondence but it's remarkably doable as the series differ only slightly. But I've read that the final resolution is different in Gracepoint. I'm now down to the final ep in both Gracepoint and Broadchurch and was wondering which one I should watch first?

Since Broadchurch is the original I'd go with that. No other reason really.

It's starting to look like the killer is going to be the same as BROADCHURCH's. There was a line in the last episode (I won't spoil it) that seem to point this way. The problem is if they go with the same killer, some of you guys are going to be pissed - as very little up until now that points in their direction (but it wasn't much different on BROADCHURCH, either).

It seems the Gracepoint DVD is being released in Australia today. So presumably, one could possibly find out who did it before Thursday. If you do, please keep your discussion inside spoiler tags. Thanks!

Well that was something

That was something.

Am I the only one who sees a thin Melissa McCarthy when Danny's mom is on-screen?

Personally, I prefer the Broadchurch ending. Much cleaner. It's almost as if Gracepoint was trying to set up another season with their different ending (as is the tradition with all American television). But I did like the final scene with the determined looks on both Miller and Carver. Carver's figured it out and is determined to get his man while Miller is equally determined to protect her son.

I was half right in my pick for whodunit... but before this ep started I didn't know for sure.

I might just read the spoilers for Broadchurch than sit through this again.

Broadchurch was incredibly satisfying and nearly wrapped. Olivia Coleman was amazing. I just can't want anything with Sklar again.

And yet, oddly enough, Gracepoint was promoted as a 10-part event and not a Season 1, so does not appear to be going for more than 1 season, and Broadchurch is having 2 more seasons (or series).

Flave

I know Gracepoint was supposed to be a one-season series but I've heard that promise before. "Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...can't get fooled again." --George W. Bush.

But I had no idea that Broadchurch has been renewed for two more seasons. Best news I've heard all day. But I just got up, so, yeah.

I loved Broadchurch but didn't watch this, can someone spoiler (even though it has aired) who the murderer was, as compared to the original one?

I was confused by the video thing at the end with Carver. That was supposed to imply he figured out Tom hit Danny, right?

Shannon Nutt

So basically, GRACEPOINT copied BROADCHURCH right up until the end, then gave us a slight twist so they didn't actually have the same killer. Pointless.

Oh well, if nothing else it was a good example of how NOT to re-make a TV series. And Anna Gunn was really good in the finale, so I'll give her credit for turning in a great performance.

At the very least, maybe some of you will now switch over to BROADCHURCH (assuming you get BBC America).

Shannon Nutt

Right.

Josh-da-man

Yeah, Tommy said that he never saw "anyone else" hit Danny. This leads Carver to believe, at least, that there is more to the story than what Joe confessed to. The implication being that Tommy was there and that Danny was hit.

Broadchurch series 1 was put on Netflix today. I will probably start watching it sometime this weekend. I got caught up with Gracepoint and watched the finale earlier and I decided to read Broadchurch spoilers. I agree the twist that was added seemed to be a set up for another season. As previously mentionted, I didn't see Broadchurch before this. It will be interesting to compare the two.

chowderhead

Tommy could have meant he saw or knew that Danny's father had hit him but that he didn't see anyone else hit Danny. It was a bit out of place during the interview but really I don't think Carver could have suspected Tommy based solely on that. I do think Carver pieced it together in his mind when Tommy went missing and was found on his way to the hiker's lodge with the crossword book. They may have wanted to explore this in a potential second season but they could have made Tommy a much darker character in trying to plant Danny's book on the hitchhiker. It may have been worth watching if Elle would turn her son in the second season.

I absolutely loved Gracepoint and I will be making the switch!

movieking

Thanks, good summary.

cornflakeguy

It's pretty much presumed that there won't be a Gracepoint Season 2, right? I don't think the ratings were good at all. If there's going to be more Broadchurch might as well watch that.
