The new 10 - episode mystery series Gracepoint (airing Thursdays) at least has a solid pedigree, remaking last summer's acclaimed eight - part Broadchurch from BBC America, even starring David Tennant in the same role (albeit with an off - putting attempt at an American accent) as a detective newly arrived in a
coastal California town, where the murder of a young boy
rocks the local residents to the
core — including his resentful partner (Breaking Bad's Anna Gunn)-- turning neighbor against neighbor until a shattering denouement.
