If only The Bay could create a lead character half as particular as the young Morse, or indeed as distinctive as Morecambe Bay, then it might be more memorable.

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.
