#Broadchurch: Your 140 character reviews of episode five
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Broadchurch topped the Twitter TV leaderboard last night with 29,552 tweets about the fifth episode.
BBC’s Jonathan Creek, scheduled in the rival 9pm slot, attracted 1 million more viewers but had 10,000 less tweets, according to social media TV analysts Second Sync.
Many of you seemed relieved by your feeds that you had chosen to watch Tennant and Colman over Creek and Smith.
Beth’s line “come near my family again and I’ll break your f***ing face in” proved the favourite among tweeters this week, while most of you thought Jack Marshall’s death was suicide not murder.
