Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

gpincus I just finished watching the first season of The Tunnel. I have not seen The Bridge. I very much enjoyed the main characters, settings, and cross-cultural elements, but found the story to be of somewhat inconsistent quality. Two examples (there are more) include: (1) An entirely unnecessary and confusing subplot involving a wayward French detective (spy?) was dropped in near the end of the season; and (2) The villain, who through most of the season is making national political statements through a series of mass murders, at the end of the season turns out to ALSO have a personal vendetta against one of the main characters. It seemed that additional characters and story lines were thrown in on top of--but not integral to--the main story. I will watch the other seasons and hope the writers/show runner will do a better job with the story line.

shodanjon The first season is a remake of the Danish -Swedish thriller The Bridge. It was remade in the US, also called the Bridge and was between the US and Mexico. The Tunnel riffs off of British and Franco mutual distrust and grudging respect. Stephan Dillane as DCI Karl Roebuck is terrific, brilliant and flawed, selfish and driven to justice. Clemence Posey is equally wonderful as a French detective with what may be Asperger's but at the very least some social interaction issues. The rest of cast is terrific, each in their own element. And the stories are complex and convoluted, in a good way. I liked the second season more than the first and I'm working my way through the third. Definitely worth watching.

wabby-30281 The ending for Season 3 was just about the best ending for any series, ever. Very emotional, but an excellent wrap up.

exmachina-05167 It is, unfortunately, the usual progression of TV series: S01... Great, S02... good but not great S03... not good S04+...why did they bother (oh! it's the money)S03 of "The Tunnel" breaks that mold. It really is the best of all three seasons. Her and him are their usual perfectly cast selves. The plot and the script are gripping. Small touches, like the French detective swearing in front of a British detective and saying "Pardon my French!" There are current political comments scattered through the episode, but nothing offensive, everyone is entitled to their opinion! (new concept)A small carafe of Red and some snacks and watch all six episodes, I did! It is real page turning that, one cannot put down. Try it..you will not be disappointed.If "The Tunnel" and "Babylon Berlin" are not nominated for awards it will be definite proof that the Awards are rigged, to the highest bidder.Well done to all involved in this series, thank you.
