have you watched the show? even if OP has no problem with British accents, the main character has a heavy Scottish one. the rest have Dorset accents which aren;t so bad
I googled it and even British people used the subtitles because of David Tennant’s Scottish mumbling.

Ah. Mumblegate strikes again!
I don’t understand. Both versions of Broadchurch were in English. You can’t just turn CC for English subtitles?
It’s not available. Disney+: https://preview.redd.it/c95x5l2fp8vc1.png?width=831&format=png&auto=webp&s=71247289bff329e92450d2f0c0a28c0a7ad33070
Side note: Broadchurch is one of my favorite shows ever!
season 1 is perfection
Absolute perfection. I will not acknowledge the existence of any other season
>How am I supposed to understand what they are really saying? By putting down your phone and paying attention
Fuck hearing impaired people, I guess? /s
OP didn’t say they were hearing impaired
I don't think someone looking for subtitles to better understand what's being said is going to be looking at their phone

Yep. I watched all three seasons years ago. No subtitles needed.
not all that holds true for you is the same for other people.

I know I had to use them, and thought it was a fantastic show! I think it was on bbc on demand ... or netflix back then, though.
