Was scanning Hulu and noticed a surprise picture of David Tennant in a show called Gracepoint. I'd heard he was reprising his role in a British series for an American audience. I had fun in the pilot trying to guess what sort of American accent Tennant was trying for, but it never came together for me. He was supposed to be from Philadelphia? The plot and so on was just a rehash of Fargo without the comedy or local flavor, or Twin Peaks without everything that made that show a treasure. Or Blackpool without the music videos, to bring in another Tennant detective show.
Heard it was being cancelled, shrugged — then saw that the British original, Broadchurch, was now on Netflix.
So, that went into my queue, right away. Maybe Tennant can focus less on his accent and more on his acting.
