But he has brought his teenage daughter to live with him.
Does he like the town now?
Or is he still kind of tolerating it?
But he’s found a certain peace with it.
Even the relationship he has with Miller they’re no longer combative with each other.
Hardy’s never been one to believe in the intrinsic goodness of humanity and that persists.
He trusts no one implicitly.
Miller is the one who, in a way, manages to be a bit more objective about it.
Hardy finds it quite hard to be clear-sighted.
That’s quite an interesting change to their dynamic.
This case really bothers Hardy.
With a murder, he feels on safer ground because he knows what that psychology is.
He knows the kind of person he’s chasing down.
He doesn’t understand what kind of man would do something like this.
This is really the first time we’ve ever seen a living victim on the show.
The last two seasons saw them solving a murder.It’s a very different key in of crime.
And all that stuff is fascinating.
There’s this incredible compassion, motivation, and real hunger for justice that the police have.
It’s made me feel proud of the people who do that job and slightly in awe of them.
It’s quite powerful.
Broadchurchpremieres Wednesday at 10 p.m.
