Detective Ember Manning (Jenna Coleman) has a lot on her plate. A recent widow, she has to investigate a mysterious fire in a scenic small town that seems to exist only in British crime shows. Yet this seemingly simple case of arson leads her to another case involving the abduction of a young girl years ago, and the two seemingly unrelated crimes have a personal connection that will change Ember forever.
The Jetty doesn’t offer anything new to the genre, but what it does, it does well. The central mystery is genuinely compelling, and with only four episodes, the show doesn’t waste any time setting up its red herrings before giving viewers a satisfying resolution.
As Ember, Coleman hits all the right notes, making her detective flawed enough to be believable and relatable. The main highlight, however, is the show’s stunning cinematography, which makes great use of its moody West Yorkshire and Manchester filming locations.
