I also preferred this season to the second season. A few thoughts. I agree with Ellie that I'm proud of Beth for doing what she is. She's using her loss as a way to help others who have been made powerless by violent crime. Don't quote me on the ins and outs of it, but I know that in the US there are rape crisis centers, but I'm not sure that they are as respected by the police as it appears here (don't know if that's always the real way IRL in the UK either for that matter). Your interpretation of Hardy's motivations is interesting. I took his comment about sex crimes as being more about just not understanding the motives. but you are right that he may be uncomfortable with dealing with the victims as a CIS white male, who lacks some of the more refined people skills of someone like Miller. I think that his wanting to get the statement done asap isn't as much about as just wanting to get it solved in the clinical sense, but is more from a sense of urgency because there is a predator out there and he wants to get the perp off of the street. He does say that he's worried about another woman being attacked on his watch. I could see him being overly sensitive as to his personal responsibility based on his feelings about Sandbrook and then with Joe getting off in part because of his choice to let Ellie in the room with him. I think in the end the opposite temperaments are what make he and Ellie a good team. One another note, I found one of the most refreshing things about this show as a whole is the complete lack of sexual tension between the lead detectives, none of the X-Files, Castle, Bones, shipping stuff, just adults who work together well. As for Katie, I think her character is actually the one weakly written character in this season. She's written as almost a Greek chorus of people who engage in victim blaming, because women can sometimes be just as bad if not worse as men when it comes to that. Her motives for that are never fleshed out enough for my taste, but she does have her own mini story and character evolution as the season goes on. Anyhow, really enjoying your reactions. Hope you might get back into Fleabag at some point as well.

(Sorry if this is a double post. On my end it appears that Patreon ate my comment.) I agree about liking this season more as well. The characters are more lived-in and the story this season doesn't focus on them but still involves them so it's not jarring. The show has also done several narrative things that feel refreshing: For one, that Mark is the one who's still struggling so hard with Danny's death. Usually it's the mom who can't "get over" it and the dad who's the pragmatic one who says, essentially, that the situation can't be changed so why destroy yourself with grief and anger instead of honoring the deceased's memory and doing something that benefits others. Mark's side certainly is understandable — how do you get past your child being murdered by one of your closest friends? — but it's a nice change of pace that it's the dad who is overwhelmed by emotion. Secondly, as you mentioned last episode, Trish's story continues to be one rarely seen in TV/movies. Not only that she's not a gorgeous 20-something, but as we find out in this episode, that she's the life of the party, has a bunch of friends, has some vices, and still has casual sex. Not that 49 is OLD, but it seems that once women hit 35 in media, they're considered past their prime. Trish is/was thriving and loving her life "despite" being almost over the hill, and it's great to see. Obviously the circumstances in her life right now are awful and no one enjoys watching rape storylines, but I think the story they're telling with Trish is a lot closer to real life situations than is usually portrayed. Lastly, as someone who works in the journalism industry, the subplot of Maggie and the paper hits extremely close to home. The previous paper I worked at was owned by a gajillionaire yet he sold it to a conglomerate for god only knows why and the newsroom was slashed within months. I can't tell you how many coworkers and even full departments were laid off, all in the name of the bottom line. It's a miracle the paper still ended up being produced every night with some local coverage and a decent copy edit. And that was in a pretty big market, too, unlike the countless small papers that served communities like Broadchurch. "Redefining local" indeed. You'd be surprised how expensive it is to run a print paper, though. Newsprint alone is exorbitant. A couple years ago there was just about a crisis when it came to that, because there were crazy tariffs on newsprint from Canada, which is the majority supplier, and it was getting dicey for a while. I presume it's not cheap in the U.K. either. It helps that the Broadchurch paper has no reporters or editors to pay (lol), but there's still ink, art/graphic design, licensing, advertising, distribution, etc., and worst of all is there's so few people buying print papers these days that for many places the cost and headache simply isn't worth it. (Don't even get me started on people who refuse to buy print papers then complain about paywalls for online content and/or the lack of local coverage...) A really sad, frustrating state of affairs but Broadchurch's portrayal is definitely realistic :(
