However, some were delighted with the series, with one person tweeting: "Aw that was so good," while another joked: "After six weeks of me coming up with different theories and thinking I knew who killed Dylan, I can confirm that being a detective is something I should never pursue in life, definitely didn’t expect that ending."

The finale of the show finally saw the true murderer being uncovered, as it was revealed that it was actually Sam who killed Dylan by accident when they got into a fight over Holly, who was expecting Sam's baby. Confessing to Lisa, he said: "There was a fight, it was just one punch and he went down. He hit his head. I didn't mean it to happen. I didn't know what to do, Holly wanted to call an ambulance but anyone could see it was too late. She didn't want to still go, so she ran. I didn't mean it, I wasn't thinking. I didn't mean any of it. It was an accident." Fans discussed the revelation, with one writing: "Crikey, I wasn’t expecting Sam to be the murderer of Dylan AND the father of Holly’s baby." Another added: "I was going to watch #TheBay tonight, but i couldn't wait, just watched it. A great drama. I was shocked that it was Sam in the end."
