Tired Isn’t Even A Mood Anymore It’s My Entire Personality

*flips a table* I’M HERE FOR YOU

I actually got a lot of thoughts about it so it’s gonna be a long post, sorry

(It’s been a while since I watched Broadchurch so maybe I forgot some things)

I understand that Tom seems to be wrong for the viewers. He thinks his mother is the guilty one and not his father when we know that it’s the other way around. But.

But we tend to forget what this child has gone through in season 1. His not-so-best friend has been killed. It could have been him. He feels guilty (he deletes anything that could be an evidence) and he doesn’t want this case to have anything to do with him. The less he knows, the better he is. His biggest fear is to be accused of something or to be responsible of Danny’s death without knowing it.

Plus he is very close to his father. We know that Joe is a stay at home father because Ellie’s job is time consuming.

And here he learns from his mother that his father is the murderer. And he can’t believe it. Because it’s his father, because it was one of his friends (he has to picture his father and a child that was his best friend being close in a so wrong way. That must be awful), because it can't be

So Ellie must be wrong. His mother must be wrong. And how dares she accuse her husband, his father? How cannot she see that there’s a mistake somewhere? That his boss, that horrible boss, must be wrong?

For a 10yo child, it’s way much easier that way (and it’s even more obvious when Joe pleaded non guilty. His father would never have lied. And Joe seemed to be such a nice guy).

That’s why he is so mad at Ellie at the beginning of season 2. Because he wants his father to be innocent, and Ellie was the one to arrest him. She is the guilty one (and it is one of the main themes of the season 2, specially when Ellie has to testify and she says “I’m not the guilty one!” because she feels a lot guilty). It makes a lot of sense with his character, but as viewers with a lot of empathy for Ellie, it seems very unfair (because she deserves so much BETTER)

So that’s my thoughts on the matter ☀️

so I'm re-wtaching Braodchurch and I just entered season 2 and got to the bathroom courthouse scene, we know that Tom refuses to see his mother and Ellie mentions that he blames her but I can't really understand why? Like why would he blame his mother when his father is the one who is a literal murderer?

Could someone please like analyze this or tell me your thoughts/opinions on the matter, I'm really curious to hear what people think about this kind of situation
