The Tunnel: Episode #1.10 (2013)
Season 1, Episode 10
7/10
The ending was a bit contrived
1 September 2023
This appeared like a nice series with some good actors, when it started of with the mysterious body puzzle. However, I felt the ending was a bit contrived, hurried and unsatisfying.

The actors did a good job, but I found the female detective annoying at times. Irrespective of how brilliant you are, nobody is going to accommodate her levels of weirdness. She is projected as someone who is logical, rational etc, but no amount of logic or rationality explains putting a child's life in danger to catch a criminal. Then the scene where she throws all that paper on the floor. That's ridiculous and no superior will tolerate you. That's blatant disregard for the rest of the team, working their rear ends off. Even they way she found a clue in that mess is a bit of deus ex machina.

Story could have been done much better. They introduced so many plot points, but did not tie everything up properly. They did not even explain why TT did what he did in the beginning. It's like trying to explain everything as the acts of a demented individual, which is like a cop out.

I can only hope that the subsequent seasons may be throw a bit more light on the Peloton and what Kieran actually found during his under cover operation.

Giving a 7 still.
