The Tower

My favourite shows to watch are British or Nordic mystery series. And this 3 episode mini-series did not disappoint. Excellent acting, good story-line, well written, believable. The show is about a crime that seems straight-forward to begin with, but then more and more details are unearthed that show it to be something else all together. I binge watched all 3 episodes. I hope there will be a season 2! Note: I almost didn't watch this mini-series courtesy of the poor reviews on here. I recommend you watch the series and make your own judgements. I expect that true fans of British mysteries will LOVE this series.

I love to look on IMD to get a perspective on a show or movie I want to watch. But, in the last year it seems like so many people are just being overly critical. Yes, there are bad shows/movies out there but it seems like some are just being needlessly criticized. Just like this show. It was a really good police procedural with several actors I really enjoyed. Yes, there were flaws but it was still very entertaining and I watched both seasons in one day. Maybe, people didn't like it because they prefer white, straight male cops. I don't know. Times have changed immensely in the police force and the public eye for that matter. We may not be crazy about the way certain things are but it's reality. Accepting people has come a long way and hopefully will only get better. I'm a 71 year old white woman married for 50 years. I pray the world starts learning to be kinder to each other.

Not the best, and the Irish police officer was unbearably annoying to watch. I presume there will be second series the way it's been left? They need to up their game in Series 2..

A policeman and a teenage girl fall to their death of a tower block, but how did the pair die?

If you only saw the first episode, I could understand you not enjoying it, and not sticking with it, but if you can get past that, parts 2 and 3 are actually really very good.

It is an intriguing watch, very much a story about human nature, you think you understand events, and the characters, but the ending surprises.

Very well acted, Jimmy Akingbola impressed here, as did Scanlan and Whelan.

Enough here for a second series? I think so, we certainly still have some unanswered questions.

Stick with it, 7/10.

Definitely a better than usual police drama. Some good acting and the time shifts could be confusing but it kept your interest throughout. Particularly liked the realism of the ending.
