"The Tower" opens with a young girl and a senior police officer having been killed after falling off the Portland Tower. The blame is quickly laid on the girl, but DS Collins (Gemma Whelan) doesn't buy it. What really led to the tragic death of two people?
On paper, this is an interesting premise. It brings us into the action immediately, and tempts us with a plethora of fascinating characters. As the series progresses however, a lot of this potential is squandered.
The series is overly convoluted, illogical, and whatever twists and turns along the way are predictable and anti-climatic. It's definitely well acted, but the actors can't sell the messy storyline convincingly. It's somewhat worth watching given that it only lasts three episodes, but you're not missing much if you skip it.
