Critic Reviews

The Times Ben Dowell

Nov 14, 2024

Cat Jones, the writer of The Jetty (BBC1), has ladled many traditional ingredients into what on the face of it is yet another drama about a missing teenage girl. But her brew is pleasingly laced with something more socially urgent: the slippery problem of consent and the sexualisation of teenage girls. Read full review

The jumps between the past and present can be jarring (for a while I didn’t even realise the scenes with Amy and Caitlin had gone back in time). But all of that is easily forgotten when the story itself is so compulsive. Read full review

The Jetty isn’t Happy Valley, but it is much, much closer to it than you might have expected. Read full review

The Independent Nick Hilton

Nov 14, 2024

The Jetty doesn’t reinvent the crime drama. In fact, it borrows widely from the BBC’s vast back catalogue. But the restrained and self-contained nature of the narrative, and its likeable protagonist, offsets most of that triteness. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Ammar Kalia

Nov 14, 2024

The Jetty has all the ingredients of a forgettable British crime-by-numbers drama destined for the graveyard slot of Monday nights in July. Yet, clunky dialogue and comedy names aside, a parallel narrative charting two teenage girls’ relationship with wayward older man Malachy (House of the Dragon’s Tom Glynn-Carney) is intriguingly ambiguous, providing enough tension to keep viewers guessing.

Radio Times Abby Robinson

While there's much to appreciate about The Jetty, there are some elements that don't quite work. Riz has a parody-like quality to her, a consequence of how she is both written and performed, and the wider dialogue attempts poeticism, but falls flat in places, with characters sounding mannered or overwrought.

The Telegraph Anita Singh

Nov 14, 2024

It fails on the basics, which isn’t Jones’s fault: badly lit and with dialogue that is sometimes hard to decipher. But the plot in the opening hour is such a mish-mash that I twice checked to see if I had started watching a later episode by mistake. Then there are the female-led drama tropes. Read full review
