The Tower

"The Tower" British TV show presents an engaging story with a fantastic crew. The second season surpasses the first, but it lacks the suspense and depth desired. I initially gave it 5 stars but the second season is much better than the first one. There is a structure in it and a better storyline.

I really like their dramas and crime shows but tgis one does not keep you curious and engaged as you would expect from a thriller.

Despite the improvements, "The Tower" still falls short in delivering the desired levels of suspense and depth that would truly elevate it to great heights. As we continue to follow the characters' journeys, one can't help but hope for a stronger foundation of tension and complexity in the upcoming seasons.

Despite the fairly large number of negative reviews here, decided to give it a go and very glad I did so. This is a much better than average British cop drama with good acting, characters and a bit of a twist in the storyline. Is it wholly accurate or plausible? Of course not but what tv shows fall into that category! Yes, there are definitely some weaknesses but overall the acting and events are enough to redeem it for an evening of streaming. My only real complaint is I am not a fan of any show that switches back and forth between timelines. Just a personal opinion.

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.

The characters interact believably and their exchanges aren't forced. The writers have put together a complex plot that needed flashbacks in order to develop the characters and circumstances. People don't generally fall off a building in pairs for no reason. The directing and cinematography enhance the story and the actions of the characters. This is more than just police procedure; there is mystery and there are twists; there is suspense and unexpected developments; and there remain several loose ends that one hopes will be tied up in future by this capable cast and skilled writers. One suspects there will be more episodes or some questions would have been answered and/or someone would have died.

I don't know why I have to write 600 characters. So please read my 1st hundred characters and skip the other 500.

This show has no gun fight, no sex, no CGI, no pretty hot chicks, no violence, no nothing but only a solid story, I wasn't expecting anything but had to finish the whole series in one time, the script is superb and all the actors are outstanding.

People would easily skip this show bc of no big star and relatively low budget, but if you are reading this, please give it a try, I think this is what "drama" actually is all about. Marvel's shows with no story suck compared with this, seriously.
