I find it rather telling that the British agent speaks only rudimentary French whilst all the French officers speak fluent English. Why is that? The main characters are not likeable and the violence is overmuch. Not a terrible series but…

Slow beginnings then it becomes tense. A good entertainment.

There is not much to criticize here. The acting is excellent, the cinematography is great and the writing is as good as anything I have seen from a British show in many years. The show is derived from the Season Two of Danish/Swedish…

You have to be a masochist to sit through this series.

Clémence Poésy could be a steely French counterpart to the detective famously played by Helen Mirren. Poésy reluctantly accepts an English cop (Stephen Dillane) while they investigate a macabre death. Their partnership is refreshingly…

Originally broadcast on 16 October 2013 on Sky Atlantic in the UK, this British-French crime drama follows the two detectives working together to find a serial killer who left the upper-half of a French politician and the lower-half of a…

I thought the constant switching between English irritating. They would put the dialogue in English on the screen and then slap "speaking French" in big yellow letters on top of it. I didn't care for this series. Shut it off.

This Tunnel was another version of The Bridge (Swedish-Danish, which library has) and The Bridge (American-Mexican, which library has). This Brit version is awful. The Swedish version was the original and is very good, and American…

really well done. Reminded me of "Line of Duty" I binge watched the series in one day!

This is a take-off on The Bridge, a highly successful series done in Sweden/Denmark, and while there's nothing wrong with doing your own version of something, in this case the story-lines, and particularly the characters, are pretty much a…

Rated 3/10. At first I thought this series might hold great promise, but it deteriorated as time went on. The story seemed intriguing enough, at least initially, but went downhill with lots of confusing scenes. The acting, on the part…

Interesting police detective series (10 episodes 45 minutes long). Starts off with a body found in the Chunnel (Eurotunnel - the underwater tunnel linking England to France). The body is placed directly on the midpoint, the center of the…

Loved the Danish/Swedish version- The Bridge. There is also a really bad Us/Mexican version

Absolutely loved season one and two. The only problem is you have to concentrate on the movie as it has so many twists and turns. Hope there is a season III

The original Swedish-Danish version was mediocre at best. This British=French version is much worse, The plot is total unbelievable nonsense; the direction pedestrian, and the acting very poor, not that anybody could have done better with…

We also had not seen any of the other versions and LOVED this! The lead actors were terrific and the trouble taken to develop their characters and relationship with each outer was a major plus. The plot was complex and intriguing though by…

Not having seen other versions, I found The Tunnel gripping and thrilling throughout. Strong characters and good pacing help us believe the hyperreal serial killer plot. Mixing French and English spoken back and forth across the Chunnel…

I liked the original one. I didn't finish the American version, but liked the spin on the Mexican border thing. I just saw this and thought the title sounded intriguing so I clicked on it. Sadly, found out it is YET another remake of…

Spoken partly in French, so it switches back and forth between English and French (subtitles). Sometimes very hard to follow as it briefly shows one scene and then goes on to another scene. This is my second attempt to watch this first…

Absolutely loved it, although the sound quality was awful - needed to turn volume up high. The actors were to me complete unknowns but very impressive. Will now watch The Bridge!

Another remake (adaptation) of the original "Bridge" Swedish television series. After watching the original (in subtitles) and the American version, I could not get into this one... too many similarities...

Fabulous series.

Remake of the Danish/Swedish "The bridge, Bron/Broen. Series 1, 2014." Near identical plot except location was changed from the Øresund Bridge to the Channel Tunnel, and the female detective from the mildly autistic Saga to a lone wolf…

If you like the Tunnel-you"ll love the Bridge, since it's a remake, sorry adaptation, I thought it made more sense with the Border as the backdrop
