So we all know who killed Danny in Broadchurch. It was this bloke, Joe Miller, DI Ellie Miller's husband.
But did you know there has been a very similar remake of Broadchurch in America called Gracepoint?
In the final episode, Carver (Tennant) finds the phone signal and traces it back to Joe Miller.
We then learn that, just as in Broadchurch, Joe made a pass at his friend's son Danny, but was rejected.
In the British version, Joe then accidentally strangled Danny while shouting at him near the beach.
But in the American version of the show, Joe says Danny died because he tripped while running away and accidentally slammed his head into a rock.
Joe (Josh Hamilton) said he then dumped the boy's body on the beach.
When Joe's detective wife Ellie finds out what happened, she attacks him while he's still in custody, just as in Broadchurch.
How? We then see in a flashback that on the night Danny went missing, Tom sneaked out.
He went to the cliffs and saw Danny running away from Joe.
Tom tried to stop Joe by waving a rod at him, but accidentally hit and killed Danny.
Tom reveals this to his mother (Anna Gunn) when she tells him that Joe has owned up.
But she keeps schtum, and at the end of the series Joe remains in prison for the crime.
But it does make you wonder: If Tom had actually killed Danny in Broadchurch, would the second series have been more compelling than it ended up being?
