Many similarities between the two shows. If they taught me anything, is that pedophiles are lurking in small towns and it's always the ones you suspect the least. Also small towns are full of creepy people with dark secrets and beautiful scenery. And the detectives always have really depressing backstories.

I prefer this show to Broadchurch. Both have great locations.
shareHinterland is very Broadchurchy, really good but in it's own right.
shareTop of the Lake is a very poor rip off of several programs.
shareAbout 15 years ago a person published a book comparing perceived risk vs real risk. One statistic which was a hot button at the time was internet predators. He calculated that a child had a 1/250,000 chance of interacting with a predator over the internet, but that same child had a 1/100 chance of being molested by a family member or close family friend. Guess which one got all the press?
Given how formulaic it has become as a titilating theme, I wonder now if life is starting to imitate art and these shows are unintentionally promoting this behavior as common rather than presenting it as rare and despicable.
