Season 5 Review:
It is also uniformly well-acted, with Leanne Best standing out in this ensemble as the distraught mother of the murder victim, and the plotting is solid. .... Even though I’ve watched previous series, when this one came around I had completely forgotten who the lead character was, other than she was a woman who replaced that other woman whose name I also couldn’t remember. The show has never had a memorable lead, because the writers have never given them any distinguishing features.

Season 2 Review:
It all promises to be very twisty and knotty as the mystery of who ordered Stephen Marshbrook's murder unfolds; after the first episode, I reckon we're in for an engaging – if not particularly original – ITV crime drama. After all, writer Daragh Carville certainly delivered with his strong characters and brainteasing plot in The Bay season one – and it already looks like he's building on those foundations for a very solid season two.

Season 1 Review:
The Lancashire scenery is shot to show the odd moment of gruff beauty, with the soundtrack adding to the general sense of anxiety. None of it is enough to redeem the police-drama tropes. The Bay has texture, but the machinery is knackered. When a child washes up on the beach our reaction ought to be more than boredom.
