I went into this episode expecting a soft reboot. New season, new drama. But showrunner Gregori J. Martin doesn’t do "soft." He dropped us right back into the chaos with a cold open that had me gasping for air. What did you think of the premiere
Docking one point only because we have to wait a week for Episode 2. Streaming now on Amazon Prime and Peacock
If there’s one thing we know about the residents of The Bay , it’s that a calm surface usually hides a riptide of lies. And Season 3’s premiere, “Episode 1,” proves that the waters are murkier than ever.
If you loved the gritty, handheld, "soap meets crime drama" vibe of the first two seasons, you’ll be right at home. The dialogue is still sharp, the betrayals are personal, and nobody trusts anybody.
Here are my top three takeaways from the S03E01 premiere. We pick up almost exactly where we left off, but with a noticeable shift in power dynamics. Sara Garrett (Mary Beth Evans) is trying to keep the family dynasty from imploding, but you can see the cracks in her armor. Meanwhile, John Blackwell (real-life icon Kristos Andrews) is walking a razor’s edge. His loyalty to the family is at war with his own moral compass, and that final scene where he looks at the police report? Chills. 2. The New Faces (and Old Wounds) If you’re a long-time viewer, you know The Bay loves its legacy actors. This episode introduces a few new faces to the canvas, but they immediately feel threatening. There’s a specific scene in the coffee shop involving a dropped wallet that seems innocent but screams "long con." Also, can we talk about the tension between Marly and Nadia ? One look across the police station holding cell tells you that these two are heading for a collision course that will ruin someone’s life. 3. The Final Frame I don’t want to spoil the literal last shot, but let’s just say Lianna isn’t as gone as we thought she was? Or is someone playing a sick game? The director used a reflection in a car window to deliver the twist, and I literally rewatched it three times.
