Under Salt Marsh

Jackie returns to detective work after Cefin’s death and repeatedly pushes into the police case. Jess starts as Bull’s deputy, then challenges his choices and sets her own strategy in episode four. Bull kisses Gareth and shares a night with him, and the finale leaves room for their bond to grow. The women’s case work repeatedly moves the investigation forward.

Jess calls Bull’s close bond with Jackie “toxic” for the case. She warns that his choices have compromised the investigation. Bull tells Jess to report his conduct and admits he needed Jackie’s help. The story treats his personal loyalty and rank as a risk to police work.

A small X account called the show ruined by “gay woke crap” over the cop couple. Several other small accounts called the gay subplot and the mixed-family story identity content. A trailer reviewer scored the show 1/10 on a “Woke-Free” scale. The largest cited complaint had about 236 views.

The seven saved creator scores average about 46/100. Claire Oakley’s past work explores women’s experiences and supports women directors. Mary Nighy focuses on women’s trauma, while Nikita Lalwani writes about immigrant life, race, and belonging. Scott Bassett has produced stories about hate crime, laws against gay people, violence over family honor, and disability. Elwen Rowlands backs Welsh stories and companies led by women.
