Satirising Scandi-noir in a small town Tasmanian setting doesn't immediately seem like a concept likely to elicit raucous laughter, and yet this is a show which not only upends all expectations of what the crime and comedy genres can be, but also manages to be perhaps one of the best Australian productions of recent memory. With a cast of familiar local faces at the top of their game, and a darkly hilarious premise which unfolds as a compulsively compelling mystery, 'funny Broadchurch' is set to become an iconic moment in Australian dramedy history; delightfully enjoyable viewing which is an easy recommendation. 9.86/10
