Who is Joe Miller in Broadchurch?
The husband at the kitchen table · The Town
Joe Miller (The husband at the kitchen table) is a character in Broadchurch, part of The Town. Joe Miller is Ellie's husband: stay-at-home dad, school-run fixture, the man at every barbecue — the town's most unremarkable nice guy. The series' devastation is engineered around that unremarkability: Broadchurch's question isn't a stranger's whodunit but the nearer horror — what the people at your own kitchen table can carry unseen. What Joe is, and what the first season's final episodes do with it, breaks the Millers, the Latimers and the town's idea of itself in one stroke.
