United States	Ellen Gray Philadelphia Inquirer	"[3rd Season Review]: Ticks all the Brit drama boxes and still manages to stand out from the mysteries some of us can’t get enough of"	POS
United States	Hanh Nguyen IndieWire	"[3rd Season Review]: 'Broadchurch' wraps up a three-season arc by pulling off an ambitious storyline about rape that is as devastating as it is instructive."	POS

United States	Gwen Ihnat AV Club	"[3rd Season Review]: The third season appears to learn from the second’s mistakes, an occasion for celebration as 'Broadchurch' rights a ship that was almost sunk."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"[3rd Season Review]: Even with flaws, 'Broadchurch' final season is gripping (...) Chibnall may stumble a bit in plotting, but not on characterization."	POS

United States	Robert Bianco USA Today	"We can all be grateful for a series this awe-inspiringly exceptional (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Mike Hale The New York Times	"What 'Broadchurch' has to offer (...) is mood: a tasty icing of gloom and foreboding that leans heavily on the music of Olafur Arnalds and the cinematography of Matt Gray"	POS
United States	Brian Lowry Variety	"While the show’s payoff is likely to strike many as strained and unsatisfying, as well as disturbing, its raison d’etre is as much about the atmospherics and the getting there, with the twists trumping the actual whodunit"	POS
United States	Melissa Maerz Entertainment Weekly	"'Broadchurch' is a gripping portrait of small-town paranoia"	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"'Broadchurch' is a stunning achievement in great writing and powerful acting"	POS
United States	Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"It’s among the best detective shows--and perhaps even among the best dramas--in several years. It will break your heart and keep you guessing all the way through"	POS
