I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest. They got away with having the perp be someone peripheral to the storyline in the first series, his close relationship to the major characters provided more than enough shock value. Here it was effectively a random perp and a random victim, took away from the everybody knows everybody vibe that contributed to the originality of Broadchurch. Kinda played out like a pamphlet on rape and porn to be shown in sex education classes in high school. Add that to the weird sub plot of Maggie's carrier suicide and the whole thing was all a bit preachy.
Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the series just think it fell slightly short compared to the original
