The BBC drama 'The Jetty' concluded on Saturday (July 22) with a shocking twist that left viewers stunned. The four-part series, starring Jenna Coleman as Detective Ember Manning, had gripped audiences since its debut.
The finale revealed that Manning's husband Mack (Tom Glynn-Carney) had an affair with Amy Knightly (Bo Bragason), who disappeared 17 years prior. A flashback showed Mack intending to end things with Amy, but their argument was cut short when his half-brother Joe sped off in his car.
On the night of Amy's death, Ember accidentally struck her with her car while driving under the influence. Mack covered up the accident, convincing Arj (Matthew McNulty) that he was responsible. Arj, tormented by guilt for 17 years, set the boathouse on fire to hide the evidence when renovations threatened to uncover the body.
In the finale, Ember realised Arj had killed podcaster Riz, and confronted him. Arj, desperate to bury secrets, strangled Ember before dousing himself in petrol and setting himself on fire. Ember survived by crawling into the water, but later chose not to turn herself in, insisting that Arj was Amy's killer.
Viewers took to social media to express their shock, with one calling it 'the most unexpected' twist and another hailing it as 'one of the BEST shows of recent years'.
