The dialogue in Broadchurch was often difficult for this GOSB (good old southern boy) to understand and it "inspired" me to start using the English closed captioning sub-titles while I watched the show..
Now, I use CC for almost all the British shows that I watch. Surely makes it easier to understand the various dialects.
As an aside, I love the British mystery (and most other British) series and I recently subscribed to the channel ACORN on my various ROKU boxes, where you can find most all of them in one place. You can subscribe directly to Acorn or you can get it through the Amazon channel (same price either way - I think $4.95/mo) and it is marvelous.
And, English sub-titles are available on most all of the British series.
