The ITV crime drama series has received some negative reaction but the conclusion is going to make up for it, according to the actress

Given the immense success of the first series, it was always going to be tough to make a follow up to Broadchurch.

The second series of ITV’s hit detective drama has faced a backlash both from fans and critics. Many viewers have taken to social media to say that the show has lost its way and does not live up to the first series.

However actress Eve Myles, who plays the suspicious Claire Ripley, has said that the series two finale will more than satisfy fans, adding that the ending sent her reeling.

“[I was] completely and utterly speechless by it, it’s truly fantastic and packed. It’ll be a night to remember, I think when that comes out,” she told The Independent.

The 36-year-old Welsh actress, who joined the series this year as the intriguing suspect of the Sandbrook murder case, explained that the cast all had their theories about how the hit ITV crime drama would finish.

“We’ve all made up our own stories of who’s who and what going to happen and who did what and of course we were all wrong,” she said.

Although she knows what’s in the scripts, she has admitted that she is not sure about how it will be pieced together, meaning the ending could be more jaw-dropping than she imagined.

Myles also spoke in defence of the “Boredchurch” backlash.

“With everything, especially everything that I’ve done, where you go into a second series, you always expect people to turn against it because sometimes they don’t like change,” she said.

“Sometimes they don’t get what they expect and sometimes they just like to hit something that’s very successful and try to bring it down.”

With two episodes left, things are now hotting up in the seaside town.

Broadchurch is on ITV tonight at 9pm.
