Broadchurch And Gracepoint

It's very rare that a British version of a show gets remade by America within the same 12 month period. Gracepoint is the US version of Broadchurch, the excellent nine episode David Tennant vehicle. It's interesting that Tennant plays the same character is both versions. I am searching for interviews where he might discuss why he wanted to tell the same story twice. I can imagine the challenge and the danger of comparison to be conflicting motivations.

I am so interested in seeing the differences between the two. Broadchurch was a fantastic nine episode mystery that was one of the best things I saw last year. Some found it slow but I like my mysteries to simmer along. I want lots of red herrings and at the end I want to be recognized for the genius I am because I always figure these out.

I have read that the story is altered to reveal a different killer but I will be watching everyone extra close this time around.

Of course the bad thing is that Gracepoint is on FOX, the devil's graveyard for television shows. But for ten episodes I will watch.
