The Bay on ITV

That’s ok BlueBelle, as you say good job we don’t all think alike!

Well, I’m sure she’s the ex wife, the one who didn’t tell him that it was their son’s graduation in the last series and he missed it.

If I were him, I would tell her to take a running jump!

Sorry to disagree I think she’s got a really nice voice I was only talking to my workmate yesterday and she brought it up what a nice voice she has. Good job we re all different eh
I m obviously not paying attention I didn’t even realise it was an ex wife I thought it was an affair 😂
It s definitely not holding me in a ‘looking forward to the next episode’ kind of way At the moment I m watching it because it’s on and not much else is

I’m watching the current series of The Bay, but don’t really know why! Not much else on.

Not keen on any of the characters, none of them seem very believable in their roles. I find the lead actress irritating, something about her voice and her busybody manner. And of course they all have problematic personal lives with their partners and children. Not sure why the boss detective has to be so secretive about seeing his ex wife, did she remarry?

I’ll keep watching, but I’m not really bothered about the outcome.

I dropped out of this series. I really enjoyed the previous ones but this seemed tedious and boring.

Not as impressed with this series as the others. It all seems a bit over dramatic for quite a simple story line, with everyone whispering all the time.

Have still got two more to watch though, so will not cast it off until then.

I can’t get my head around the ‘ youngest ‘ son!! Still at school! Looks at least 35! To see him sitting in the classroom in the first episode, I thought he was a teaching assistant at first.

Not the best drama we’ve seen.

Have to say I agree with you. Did find the series a bit underwhelming at times. Preferred the first two. Thought the deaf actor was great but struggled to see him as a 16 year old though.
I did say to DH might be worth a visit to Morcambe one day.

Watched the last one last night.

Have to say I had lost track of who might have murdered Saif, but afraid I wasn’t really interested. The whole series was rather a mess.

At the closing credits it announced there would be a fourth series. I won’t hold my breath.

As an aside, I thought the mother of the university graduate, the ex wife of the detective in charge of the case, (can’t remember their names) was rather mean not to have told him he needed to book a place at the graduation ceremony. I suppose she was hoping he wouldn’t go.

Watched it all now.
Not up to previous series.
Too many “happy endings “ unlike real life.
Not all of course, after all murder took place .

Sparklefizz, totally agree with the actor playing the schoolboy looks mid 20s+..and agree NanKate, that amount of vodka would have me in A&E!

What a disappointment. Watched up to episode 4 and then decided I didn’t like the characters, the casting of the schoolboy son was laughable. The mother kept drinking but never appeared drunk, other when she was found on the floor. All in all a waste of time.

It has definitely 'lost' something from the previous 2 series. Shame because it used to be very good.

Enjoyed the first series and also the first episode of the new one, even though the 16 year old boy looks older

Really enjoyed the first two series. A bit disappointed to find not the same police character. Watched the first two episodes and it is ok really. A bit 'woke' but then everything seems to be nowadays, unfortunately!

Yes, watching on the hub. No, the episode just continues after each advert break

Hmm. I wonder what was going wrong with mine, then. (I'm pleased it worked properly for you though ?)

The worst thing about that programme was the fact that none of the characters were in the least bit likable

That was the first thing I noticed… a very old child I cannot be live there are no teenagers in the whole country that could play that part it made it ridiculous
I hope things are going to improve

Nadeem Islam, the actor playing the 16 year old, is said on the web, to be 25 years old.

Yes, watching on the hub. No, the episode just continues after each advert break

Are you watching on the ITV hub? If so, does it keep playing the wrong episode after the ad breaks?

I have watched 4 episodes of this new series. I agree the school lad looks at least 30 odd and is miscast. However I am really enjoying it.

I watched all of the Bay on catchup, and was driven to distraction when the end of an episode continued to the beginning of a non-consecutive one. I'd get to the end of episode three, for instance, and it would start to play episode two. Because of the flashback at the beginning of each one, it took a while to realise what had happened, and then I had to sit through the adverts again (I hadn't realised that it was on Britbox with no ads).

Spoiler - it really isn't worth sticking with it. The ending is frustrating.

It is good to see a deaf actor and sign language but come one? He looks way too old for the part.

Also The previous Bay "family" had problems and this one is just the same. A single mum with 2 children with a bloke who clearly has a daughter who doesnt want to be there. Same old, same old. I am going to give this series a miss.

I have been watching The Disappearance on My5 and really enjoying it.

I persevered all the way through. Boring, predictable and many attempts at 'woke' as I understand it. I won't be revisiting.

Oh, I wondered why he had a school blazer on! I didn't realise he was a schoolboy?

Glad I’m not the only one who thought the actor playing the 16 year old looked totally miscast. I thought it must be my eyes!
