The Tunnel - Sky Atlantic

[FourWheelDrift]

I'm watching it, Weds nights. I can't remember if that's the premier showing or one of the repeats but it fits in with my viewing time and I don't want to post spoilers.

Other than the creepy stuff and was it him at the end, I have to say Adam, what a boy.

[With these feet]

Looks like its someone in the force, thought the reporter was a bit brave in not complying, was waiting for his RR to get blown up - I was wrong!

Definitely one of those must watch programmes. We follow it with Gogglebox - another brilliant bit of telly.

I'm enjoying it. Wednesday is the premier night then shown again a couple of times in the week.

Eurotunnel must be loving the product placement!

Very well written, and Clemence is very easy on the eye for a Wednesday night, or any night for that matter. My inner PH-er noticed the non-standard alloys on her 944!

Yes, that thought did cross my mind on the last episode I watched.

Enjoying the series so far too.

probably not TBH, I'd suspect that cops on a case would get an exemption from fares (similar to IIRC the Met get free travel in London?)

Any thoughts on who TT is yet?

Given the way in which the killer flits back & forth across the Channel, I wondered whether they are a Le Shuttle employee yet to be unmasked?

How long to go in the series?

I've not watched this. But got them all on my plus box, is it worth watching?

I'm part way through the US remake, and if that is anything to go by it is definitely worth watching.

He has got rather cocky, considering his first RR based encounter with TT.

Truly it is not as good as the Danish original.

Watched first episode. This is ace! Love Stannis as the cop, what a great character. Fed up with dour po-faced miserable English plods.

Set on a bridge across the border with Canada?

US border with Mexico

Whe will he shaft Clemence???

[With these feet]

Where or how can you get to see the US version?

There's a queue.

Bit of a cameo by Laure off of Engrenages as the wife of the kidnapped copper.

Eurotunnel give out hangers to travel without charge for control authorities' vehicles though the areas (geographically and legislatively) police etc can work in are limited by the Sangatte Protocol.

At least we got confirmation of whether he did the nasty with the widow.

Son also in like Flynn. Possibly.

I'm starting to lose interest in this TBH.

It's got a decent script and acting but I'm finding the plot is getting more convoluted and silly with every episode and there are far too many lazily handled "happy coincidences" being dropped in to keep things moving along.

I'll stick with it as it's not a bad show, just not as good as I hoped it was going to be after the first couple of episodes.
