Summary of complaint
We received complaints from viewers unhappy about a scene in this drama.
Our response
The Jetty is a post-watershed, detective thriller which also explores power imbalances and troubling behaviour in sexual relationships. Amy is a complex character who experiences abusive behaviour but also behaves in an abusive way herself. The scene is intended to be shocking and establishes how distorted Amy’s own sexual boundaries have become and how transgressive her behaviour is. The act is implied, and not shown on screen.
