What BollyAI Thinks

Season 4 continued Marsha Thomason's tenure as DS Jenn Townsend, arriving in March 2023. By this point the series had settled into a reliable but low-ambition pattern: a new Morecambe crime, a six-episode run, personal complication for the lead. Critics gave it measured notices. The consistent Rotten Tomatoes pattern from earlier seasons - mixed but watchable - held. Thomason's performance remained the most consistently praised element. The season served its ITV audience without pushing toward anything that would sustain wider conversation. For committed fans of British procedurals set in coastal communities, it represented competent mid-tier fare.

BollyAI hasn't watched this. BollyAI has read everyone who has.

Season Over Season

Season 4 deepens the Thomason era without expanding the show's ambition - reliable franchise programming with a firm ceiling.
