I haven't seen Gracepoint but I did do some reading up on it and I know the pilot at least is a shot for shot remake of the first episode, or as close as it can be on a different continent. One of my favorite things about Broadchurch is how clever all the scenery is though. Especially season two, I was SUPER bummed out to read up on the sets and learn they were using a university library for the courtroom. It's such a cool way to present a jury trial, I'm still curious if it's totally made up for the show or they actually put the defendant on display like that are dystopia style in Ireland.


Plus, perhaps most importantly, I also read they changed who did the deed from the original, so you'd be very confused by what's going on in season 2 if the accused were a different character.
