The French remake of Broadchurch


I wonder how similar it is to Broadchurch. I'm hoping they make some changes to the series. I didn't like the fact that Gracepoint was literally a shot by shot remake, and then they just added an extra 30 minutes of footage onto the last episodes.

Here's the link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4592682/

Gracepoint wasn't a shot-by-shot remake, except for the first episode. It had two extra episodes, and two extra subplots (Tom's kidnapping, and Hardy's daughter visiting) not present in Broadchurch.

If you total the running times of the two shows' episodes on Amazon video, the difference between Broadchurch (394 minutes) and Gracepoint (443 minutes) is 49 minutes.

That amounts to 1 episode of Broadchurch or 1 episode plus 4.5 minutes of Gracepoint.

It is not 2 episodes' worth of extra material.

I hope they make some changes as well. I hated what they did with Gracepoint.

And the Leftovers

The Leftovers is already on there. I watched season 1 of Bloodline, it was quite good, but I decided not to watch another season.

I guess it aired in Nov-Dec. Did anyone watch it?
