Jenna Coleman in The Jetty (2024)

Review by ru3371

The Jetty

10/10

A dark, uncomfortable truth told masterfully

This series and its writing is as surprising as it is compelling; a dark tale of misogyny and abuse told through flawed characters with humour and wrapped in a thriller package. It's a complex, brave approach that was probably always going to polarise its viewers. But interestingly, those who cite Jenna Coleman as unconvincing because she's too young and pretty, or too flawed, only serve to underscore the point this series is making.

Misogyny is built into the fabric of our culture - so much so that many viewers cannot stomach a TV drama featuring a gritty, flawed, feisty female lead. I imagine the team knew this when they produced the series, but still they made this because the message is so important.

This is top-notch drama told with heart and grit and humour. DC Manning is a compelling if sometimes frustrating character - as are all of the characters featured in the series. There are no out and out heroes, but the villains are nuanced too. This lack of polarity - the greying of the moral lines that we pretend exist in black and white - is real and honest. And yes, uncomfortable to watch at times. But that's the point.

Bravo to the writer and team behind the show. 🙌
