DS Jenn Townsend, Morecambe's new FLO, is thrown in the deep end when a body is found in the Bay on her first day in the job. She must get under the skin of a grieving and complicated family if she has any chance of solving the murder, whilst at the same time proving herself to new colleagues in the MIU. The pressure is multiplied when her new blended family struggle to settle in Morecambe, proving to Jenn that a fresh start might not be quite as simple as moving to a different town.

Trivia
The 5th season was announced in May 2023 with filming taking place later in the year.

Goofs
No child would be excluded for two weeks, especially for just a corridor fight; it would be regarded as totally inappropriate and open to legal challenge. The school-less fortnight is a useful plot device, but not at all realistic.

Enjoying it so far

This is my first review but felt the need due to the criticism of the accents/dialect of the character's. Here in the UK we make programmes and films covering a wide range of accents and dialect. We don't adapt these especially so that none UK residents can understand them. They are what they are and represent the whole of the UK. So to slate a programme for the accents of the actors who are representing a particular part of Britain is rude in my book. I wouldn't do that about American shows.
