The Catch is a Channel 5 and My5 four-part drama series set in the west of England, adapted by Michael Crompton[1] from the 2020 novel of the same name by T. M.
Local fisherman, Ed Collier struggles to make a decent living because of competing fishermen.
[1] Ed teams up with Abbie's ex-boyfriend, George to investigate Ryan's history and is startled at what he finds.
However, Ryan's answer is acceptable, driving Ed's family to turn against him, and things get darker when an ominous threatening message appears painted on the decking of his boat.
[3] Even though the setting for the drama is the south-west of England, the actual filming took place at Balbriggan and other locations in County Dublin, Ireland.
