The premier of the highly anticipated drama series, The Jetty, has received a wave of complaints from BBC viewers. Despite the star-studded cast led by the sensational Jenna Coleman, fans seem to have one major issue with the show.
Coleman, known for her iconic role as Doctor Who, portrays the character of Detective Ember Manning in this gripping tale of an arson investigation in her hometown. While the 38-year-old actress has been receiving praise for her performance, there is one complaint that keeps popping up - the difficulty in understanding the dialogue.
As the first episode aired on BBC tonight, viewers took to social media to express their struggle in comprehending the dialogue. Many even resorted to using subtitles, something they don't usually do, to make sense of the "mumbled" words.
One viewer, Holly Munn, tweeted, "Am I the only one finding #TheJetty hard to pick up? Is it the sound? The accents? Are they mumbling?" While Liam T vented, "Thank f**k it's not just me struggling...Good luck to the rest of you sticking with #thejetty - load of sh*te."
Others also shared similar sentiments, with some jokingly stating that they might have a better chance at understanding the plot if the cast stopped mumbling. However, not everyone seemed to have the same issue, as some viewers didn't experience any difficulty with the sound quality.
Unfortunately, for the show, the sound issues seem to have affected its ability to capture the audience's attention. Despite shocking moments, such as a pregnant teenager falling from a roof and a school-age girl engaging in a questionable act, some viewers were left unimpressed.
The Jetty is described by the BBC as a "coming-of-age story" intertwined with a detective thriller. As Detective Manning dives deeper into the investigation, she is forced to confront her own past and reflect on her relationship with her late husband. The series also tackles important themes such as sexual morality, identity, and memory in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
Jenna Coleman, who plays Detective Manning, expressed her excitement about the show, saying, "Working with the BBC and Firebird Pictures on bringing the complex and enigmatic character of Ember Manning to life has been an incredible experience. I can't wait for everyone to meet this new heroine and to find out what's lurking beneath the surface of The Jetty."
The next episode of The Jetty is set to air on July 16 at 9pm and is also available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
