I have ticked it in my Radio Times and am looking forward to it.

Yes, I would like to know what you think.
Hope this shows up across the pond on PBS soon. Sounds great.
Just saw the finale of '''The Tunnel which I understand was a take off on "The Bridge. It was a good story line and they keep saying the end of season one so maybe there's more to come.
I tried so hard to like this one but couldn't help comparing it to "The Bridge" which was far superior IMHO. But I did enjoy "Follow the Money" which aired here recently.
I enjoyed The Tunnel the actors were great and so was their interaction. I never saw The Bridge so couldn't compare.
I watched it last night and am reserving judgement until episode 2 when I hope it settles down a bit, I did think it a bit melodramatic but I can see it has possibilities to be good. The cast is certainly strong enough.I was pleased to see that the BBC are adapting 7 Agatha Christie books, they do them so well.
Yes, I am hoping it develops into the really gripping drama that the quality of the cast promises.
I still cannot make up my mind. I think the writers are emphasising the fact that the characters are not criminals but ordinarily law abiding, I say this because of some of the things they do to cover up the crime, an example of this is trying to disguise the overturned car with a tarpaulin and bits of junk and leaving it an obvious overturned car with the wheels sticking up, I thought this was rather funny. Again digging an inadequate hole to finally bury both car and body the filling the hole by spade instead of the digger used in the first place. I am not giving up hope because as I have said the actors are so good and it could become a first class thriller.
Last episode this week, I have to admit it didn't come up to expectations given the cast, however it still portrayed a group of people who were out of their depth in very difficult circumstances, how was it for you?
