Broadchurch Finale: 12 Questions That Still Need Answering

So that's it. Not guilty, and the Sandbrook lot ALL did it. After a slow-burn second season, Broadchurch is done and dusted for another year, and justice has taken a severe kicking in the process. But at least there was some resolution thanks to the mob justice moment that saw Joe run out of town: that at least closed up his case nice and tightly. Or did it? For a show that thrived on complex story-telling, not everything was tied up nicely into the finale. Perhaps some of it will feed into the next - now confirmed - season, but you have to think that someone just dropped the ball a bit. Some things appear to have been used as conscious misdirection: the postman's argument with Danny was a red herring that was cleared up in a deleted scene (though you'd have thought that someone as thorough as Sharon the angry QC might have picked up on the information and tried to cast more doubt on Joe's case with it, since it wasn't actually in the final show). Then there's the fact that Will Mellor's psychic wasn't explained away - was he a magician or a con-man? And why did the Latimers' clocks all stop? Presumably that's a symbolic thing, but the magic realism of the symbolism somewhat derails the ethos that everything had an explanation in the real world. And those are far from the most pressing questions...
