We found the previous one rather silly but we’re prepared to give this one a chance. We decided about half way that it wasn’t for us…

And yes I agree it was good to see a deaf actor but as I said earlier unlikely that a FLO would just walk in and be able to Sign. That isn’t real life unfortunately.

I watched The Bay too and couldn’t believe how old the sixth form student looked. I thought he looked about 30 actually. I thought the formula was very tired. It was trying too hard to tick all the diversity boxes and just didn’t work. Single parent with a chaotic personal life, stressed out etc. I thought it very unlikely that a FLO would just walk in and be able to sign. The new police officer Jen was very uncaring towards the driver she had just driven into the back of she didn’t even ask if he was ok. If I had been the family who had just lost their son I think I would have asked both the FLOs to leave they really were very irritating.

Just what DH said about the mum! We have not watched previous series so just getting to grips with this one.

I thought that was weird. His Mum looks younger than him.

Anyone watching The Bay? It's a bit weird as they've cast a grown man to play a schoolboy, and he's not even boyish-looking. I've googled the actor and he's 25 but quite honestly looks more like 30, yet is supposed to be about 16.

He's deaf so it's really good to see a deaf actor and to see other actors signing to him, but the age differential from the character he's playing is just a bit creepy.
