Privacy NoticeIn the second episode of new BBC crime thriller series The Jetty, viewers discovered that the storyline is playing out across two different timelines. One timeline is set in the present day and features Detective Ember Manning (Jenna Coleman), while the other delves into the past of her late husband Malachy ‘Mack’ (Tom Glynn-Carney). The plot thickened when Ember stumbled upon a photo of Mack with Amy Knightley (Bo Bragason), a young girl who disappeared over ten years ago. Now, Ember is left to unravel the mystery of her husband’s connection with the missing teenager, fearing the worst. However, as the new episode aired on Tuesday 16 July, it seemed some viewers were left scratching their heads, not realising the show was switching between the past and present. One viewer took to Twitter to express their confusion: “Is this jumping back and forth in time? I hadn’t realised that.” Sign up to OK’s TV newsletter to get updates sent to your inbox for free

Another tweeted: “Two episodes in and only just realised the two schoolgirls are the missing girl and friend,” reports the Mirror. A third viewer commented: “#TheJetty flashbacks need to be time-stamped if you’re padding out a program with them and can’t be bothered providing a quality soundtrack.” One fan admitted: “On ep2 of #TheJetty and only just realised they’re showing the two different timelines. No wonder I was getting confused, thinking it was all happening present time.” Despite the confusion, one viewer managed to spot the difference, writing: “Enjoying the jetty to a certain extent, but is anyone else having trouble working out flashbacks to the present.”
Fans of The Jetty are only just realising there are two timelines
Fans have been heaping praise on the show, with some having binged the entire series on iPlayer. One enthusiast gushed: “Jenna Coleman’s Jetty isn’t just the best show of the year it’s one of the best shows of all time and definitely the best show of the 2020s,” while another chimed in with: “Best show of the year! Jenna Coleman is superb!” Meanwhile, Victoria and Doctor Who star Jenna Coleman, who plays Ember, hinted at her character’s complex journey, revealing: “Throughout the series, Ember is really propelled forward towards the truth, towards the answers, towards the case – but as she’s moving forward trying to solve the case, her past is always catching up with her.” She continued: “The more she unravels of the case, the more she has to re-examine and re-define her own past, and in doing so her own past relationships and her own identity.”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
