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.

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.

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..

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.

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.
