New This Week

Mark Strong played cop Frank Agnew in both Channel 4’s Edinbergh version of “Low Winter Sun” and AMC’s Detroit remake, with the actor switching Agnew’s accent from Scottish to American.

Now much the same thing has happened with David Tennant, who played the British lead detective on ITV’s “Broadchurch,” and now plays essentially the same character with a different name and an American accent in Fox’s serviceable new California remake of “Broadchurch,” retitled “Gracepoint.”

Both “Broadchurch” and “Gracepoint” are about police detectives trying to solve the murder of a preteen in a small coastal town. Both series remind me a lot of the Rosie Larsen seasons of AMC’s “The Killing,” and I think “The Killing” superior to both “Broadchurch” and “Gracepoint” – but I still find “Gracepoint” plenty watchable.

Anna Gunn (“Deadwood,” “Breaking Bad”) is strong as the Tennant character’s new partner, and an extra-grizzled Nick Nolte (“Luck”) is lurking about as a whale-loving wharf rat.

HuffPost TV says:

... if many of the casting choices range from questionable to disastrous and the sense of place never coheres, you end up with a weird photocopy containing little atmosphere and less emotional resonance. … even if I hadn't seen the U.K. drama, I'm pretty sure I would have found this adaptation a problematic slog. …

The New York Times says:

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

The Los Angeles Times says:

... Carver and Miller are overly burdened with odd-couple status — she beams, he glowers; she thinks he's inhumane, he thinks she's a light-weight, etc. With the exception of Danny's mother, Beth, played heartbreakingly by Virginia Kull, the rest of the roles hover closer to caricature than character. …

The Washington Post says:

... If you give it a few episodes, quite a lot of the “Broadchurch” sensibility indeed conveys and can be enjoyed all on its own, but the series still feels like a community-theater version of something better. …

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says:

... Of course, most Americans never saw “Broadchurch.” For the murder-mystery fans among them, “Gracepoint” is fine, but they’d be better off seeking out the superior “Broadchurch.” …

The San Francisco Chronicle says:

... Even if you never saw the BBC America drama “Broadchurch,” there’s no compelling reason to watch the second-rate American knockoff …

The Boston Globe says:

... Whatever. It’s hard to see Tennant as an American, even while his accent is fine. And the pilot so closely resembles the original, it renders the endeavor redundant, especially if the writers don’t alter the big reveal. …

NewsCorp says:

... lacks some of the grim allure of its British predecessor, but it's complex and ominous all the same.…

TV Guide says:

... I'll say that after watching the first seven episodes of Gracepoint, it's worth a look. If it's your first look. Otherwise, perhaps not. It takes many episodes for the plot ever to diverge, and for the most part, any changes aren't for the better. (And that's especially true for most of the casting.) …

USA Today says:

... too slow, too disconnected from its supposed California setting, and too indifferently — and in some cases, badly — cast. As for its length, if there is a good artistic justification for adding two more hours to a story that was perfectly told in eight, Gracepoint does not provide it. …

Variety says:

... while it’s hard to pinpoint, “Gracepoint” can’t help but feel as if something significant has been lost in translation. …

A sitcom created by novelist Chad Kultgen (“Men, Women and Children”), “Bad Judge” stars Kate Walsh (“Grey’s Anatomy,” “Private Practice”) as a horny, hard-drinking criminal court boss.

I’ve seen both versions of the pilot and I must say the newer version with Ryan Hansen (“Veronica Mars”) is much, much better, slicing away some of the original’s lamest moments, including the bits involving the judge’s rock band.

I laughed at a line in the new “Judge” pilot about the Walsh character tying her leg to her bed at night. And we get to see a lot of Walsh in short-shorts and minidresses, which is a fabulous idea because Walsh has really good legs.

It’s not much of a compliment to say “Bad Judge” is better than most sitcoms I’ve seen on broadcast or cable (and I’ve seen pretty much all of them), but I was going to say it anyway. Then I saw the second episode, which was as bad as any episode of “Animal Practice” or “Sean Saves The World.”

Hitfix says:

... It's all so random that it smacks of a creative team that threw up its hands before the task was even done, knowing there was no way to salvage this mess they'd inherited. … And one of the few things more potentially fatal to a network sitcom than having an unlikable main character is having a forgettable one.

HuffPost TV says:

... Kate Walsh tries hard to make this strained comedy work, but it keeps resorting to broad gags and dopey jokes, and, just to mix things up, every so often it lunges at sincerity. None of it lands, unfortunately. The show can't really make up its mind about whether Walsh's irresponsible-judge character is someone to emulate or dislike, and in any event, there just aren't many laughs here. …

The Los Angeles Times says:

... Walsh, an actress who has only grown more interesting with time, is worth watching, even as the show grows slack beneath her. Check this out if only to remind yourself that she is made to last, whether "Bad Judge" does or not. …

The Washington Post says:

... there’s a caustic wit to “Bad Judge” that, with a little help, might still rise above its more shallow laughs. …

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette says:

... The pilot is not that funny as it trades in predictable gags about a woman who's competent at the office but a mess in her personal life. Perhaps that's why the revised pilot and a second, funnier episode sent for review push the series to spend more time with Wright at the office. Her buddy friendship with bailiff Tedward (Tone Bell) grows funnier, the pair seem more like friends than colleagues, and a visual gag toward the end of the show's second episode elicits some laughs. …

The San Francisco Chronicle says:

... The premise is intriguing, but the execution fizzles, for the most part. The show doesn’t really know what it wants to be, and you feel the writers pulling their punches on the judge’s badness. …

The Boston Herald says:
