Thoughts on GracePoint Season One Episode One °Spoilers

I really like the setting a small sleepy town, a new detective (played by the 10th doctor, David Tennant) and a crime he thought he would never have to face. Your heart just kinda breaks when he says ¨Don´t do this to me¨ as you see a small boy (Danny Solano) laying dead on a beach but then as if thats not enough the mother of the young boy comes busting through the crowd. All in all, so far it´s a great dramatic piece. which features not only David Tennant (Detective Emmett Carver) but Anna Gunn (Detective Ellie Miller) who is most known for her work in Breaking Bad as Skyler White. The mix of these two actors is both intense and compling.

At first Detective Emmett Carver thinks that Danny jumped off the cliff and commited suicide and it seems like the case has been closed but then with Detective Ellie Miller, he discovers that the cliff face showed no signs that someone had fallen off of it. And with that the two detectives go to inform the family. Carver being emotionally detached from the situation tell´s Milller to stay calm and aware but she can´t imagine anyone trying to hurt anyone else in her sleepy little town much less kill a child. But soon they find themselfs in the underbelly of his once peaceful and quiet town. 

And when Detective Carver goes into Danny´s room for the first time you just get goosebumps as ghostly music plays and he grimmly puts on shoe covers and gloves and takes a look. And I´m sorry but you just want to reach out and give Detective Miller a giant hug as she walks Danny´s Dad, Mark Solano to identify his sons body, the heartbreak can almost be felt in the music alone. Mark Solano  (played by Michael Peña) gave a touching and heartbreaking speech where every word seemed to burst out of his stomach, saying with gifted difficulty that he would do everything to catch the killer. 

And Im sorry right, but Owen Burk (played by Kevin Zegers), the reporter from the Gracepoint Journal, and cousin of Detective Miller is a downright jerk for tweeting about the death of Danny. And it is because of him that Dective Miller is now in the hot seat and all of this causes a wirlpool of chaos as a bigger newspaper takes the story and Renee Clemons (played by Jessica Lucus) who seems to know Detective Carver from before goes after the story with everything.

Joe Miller (played by Josh Hamilton) is super supportive of his wife Detective Miller and you know my heart broke when she told her son that his best friend died but then oddly enough her son starts deleting text messages, from a hidden phone and from off of his computer. So, it makes you wonder what the heck is going on. 

So what do you think about this series guys?
