The Bay

I really don't understand the negative remarks about this new series.. People seem to watch one episode and pass judgement on a storyline that hasn't even gotten started yet. I really enjoyed the first episode.The characters look real and believable and the underlining storyline,that is developing.

I loved the series with Morven Christie as DS Lisa Armstrong and was eagerly awaiting the new seasons. The side story line with her family was good and interesting.

The new DS Jenn Townsend ( Marsha Thomason) is so bad I almost switced it off. She is bad as a mother, stepmother, partner and colleague. I like grumpy characters when they are good, but she is just in constant bad mood, failing all her roles. Very unlikeable character.

I don't know if it is a bad script or just plain bad acting. I love the other characters and like the story line. It was a different league with Morven Christie as DS Lisa Armstrong.

I like the series, but found the subplots of the investigator's children a bit distracting, it's almost like the writers were looking to fill some time. As for the criticism of the accents. I had not problem understanding them.

Enjoying this. If you don't understand the accents, put subtitles on. This is a British drama made for a British audience, and we can understand it! Seriously I put on subtitles when I can't understand some drawling US accents

This is my first review but felt the need due to the criticism of the accents/dialect of the character's. Here in the UK we make programmes and films covering a wide range of accents and dialect. We don't adapt these especially so that none UK residents can understand them. They are what they are and represent the whole of the UK. So to slate a programme for the accents of the actors who are representing a particular part of Britain is rude in my book. I wouldn't do that about American shows.
