Gracepoint Canceled After One Season By FOX

December 5, 2014 by RenewCancelTV 8 Comments

FOX has confirmed it will not move forward with a second season of Gracepoint following the December 11 conclusion of Season 1.

While Gracepoint ‘could’ have continued with a new mystery in Season 2 (ratings permitting), it was primarily designed as a close-ended series.

      They didn’t plagiarize broadchurch… they based it off of broadchurch (notice the orignal producers and such helping woth production not to mention david tennant being the lead actor once again) because it was such a good story. It was amazing and I’m sad they aren’t renewing it because the fans it did have loved it.

    One of the best shows ever !! I give up on whomever is running our TV networks. If it’s interesting, don’t count on it being around for long. This had wonderful twists and turns throughout the whole season. I almost don’t want to start watching anything regularly anymore . It’s just frustrating to start over and over with short lived new shows, and seasons that are 5 to 7 episodes long.

    It’s not a big deal, this show is a remake of Broadchurch BECAUSE American’s “can’t understand” the accents. America is constantly remaking shows from the UK.
    It’s embarrassing for those of us who DO watch shows from the UK. Broadchurch was fantastic and one of the reasons was the lack of gloss and slickness most American TV MUST have, while shows from the UK cast genuine people who can act, not because they look good.
    from Variety:
    “Fans of acclaimed British murder mystery “Broadchurch” may question the need for a U.S. remake, but the producers of Fox’s “Gracepoint” are fairly confident their adaptation will stand on its own — mostly because they believe that many American viewers aren’t even aware of the original.”

      You are ignorant. Gracepoint was not a remake of Broadchurch. It was a revision. Same producers, same lead actor. They just wanted to bring it to America and show it on American channels since not everyone gets BBC. Get off your soapbox and stop with the “Americans plagiarized this and only wanted it to be American cuz of the accents…” or whatever crap you just said and know it was the Brits who wanted to bring it her to garner a following. So hush your bloody piehole.

    I tend to take my direction of what new TV shows to watch from the NY Times. I am always in search on that excellent show. Gracepoint was definitely that show. It reminded me a lot of The Killing – another excellent show that was cancelled. For those interested, here was the review that made me want to watch that show. So many of the American remakes of the foreign shows ARE excellent. The acting, story, the sense of mystery, and nothing is what it seems is what made this show compelling.

    Body Found, This Time in California
    ‘Gracepoint’ Stars David Tennant and Anna Gunn

    Forget its curious pedigree. “Gracepoint,” a smoldering drama about a homicide in a small California beach town, is pretty good television.

    The series, which begins Thursday night on Fox, is a remake of the British show “Broadchurch,” a fine series and big hit in Britain that was shown last year on BBC America. (A second “Broadchurch” season is now in the works.) Yes, it’s unusual to remake such a recent show, but what’s more unusual is that “Gracepoint” has the same male lead, David Tennant.

    Naturally, a new sport has arisen among people who write about television comparing the two series, with the American version generally coming up short because British television is always better than American television, isn’t it? And sure, if you want to go there, something about “Gracepoint” underscores the story’s clichés: the outsider trying to crash an insular community, the damaged cop getting a new start, the warring-partners version of police work, the Machiavellian newspaper reporter conceit.

    It should, because Mr. Tennant (here playing an American) and Anna Gunn of “Breaking Bad” pair quite well as clashing investigators looking into the death of a boy whose body turns up on the beach in the titular community. The opening minutes of the premiere are made to grab you quickly and tightly, and they do, thanks especially to convincing work by Virginia Kull as a mother who slowly realizes her son is missing and then, when she hears that a body has been found, puts two and two together.

    For viewers long accustomed to crime-of-the-week pacing, “Gracepoint,” a 10-episode series, will require a recalibration: Expect an assortment of characters, a lot of suspects, a slow unfolding of the investigation and the back stories. It’s a crime novel more than “Law & Order.”

    That puts a lot of weight on the actors, especially the two leads. As the series opens, Ms. Gunn’s character, Detective Ellie Miller, is just back from vacation and anticipating a promotion. Instead, she bops into the office to the news that an interloper, Mr. Tennant’s Emmett Carver, has been given the job she was expecting.

    So she is predisposed not to like him, a template used way too often in police procedurals. Heavy TV watchers might be forgiven if they assume there are only two kinds of law enforcement figures: dueling cops and Keystone Kops. Where is the silent majority, all those officers who are reasonably competent and get along reasonably well? Not on television, certainly.

    At least “Gracepoint” breaks the mold by not having the polar-opposite partners quickly learn to respect each other and bond under the pressure and adrenaline of a big case. Several episodes in, she still hates him, and he still treats her (and the rest of the townspeople) callously.

    A nicely muted scene in Episode 2 highlights just how differently Emmett and Ellie view small-town police work. She is protective of her longtime acquaintances (her son was the dead boy’s best friend), while he urges her to suspect everyone.

    Him: “Anybody’s capable of murder, given the right circumstances.”

    Her: “No, most people have a moral compass.”

    Him: “Compasses break.”

    Quite a few people in Gracepoint begin to look suspicious as the investigation progresses. Meanwhile, an out-of-town newspaper reporter (Jessica Lucas) is getting a colder shoulder from locals than even Emmett as she noses around. She is also familiar with a previous case on Emmett’s résumé, details of which trickle out slowly.

    Solid performances (including, in smaller roles, by Nick Nolte and Jacki Weaver) let you overlook a lot of the tropes. If you’re in search of a show to curl up with as the weather grows colder, you could do worse.

    Can’t Netflix or Amazon Prime bring Gracepoint back for a second season?
