The Tower (2021–2023)
5/10
Far fetched police thriller that was too contrived
8 November 2021
Unconvincing opening. I'm not a policeman but a cop witnesses two people including her colleague fall to their deaths from a tower block roof and no-one asks her what happened? She just goes home for a nap, come on...

The plot had too many improbabilities to mention - why didn't they chase Lucy at the end of episode one, etc. The timeline of the investigation was ridiculous, significant leads and information just kept helpfully popping up out of nowhere.

Middling cast, Gemma Whelan was OK but Emmett Scanlon as the dishy but fishy Irish DI was desperately OTT and some of the minor characters were weak. Police side of the story was way off and full of holes.

Overall - disappointing all round with a weak plot that didn't deliver and wasn't satisfyingly resolved. Very surprised it got another series.
