Review of The Tower

The Tower (2021–2023)
6/10
Unconvincing
11 November 2021
Previous reviewers have mentioned most of my reservations about the series, though I'm surprised that none has mentioned the mumbling that's been criticised elsewhere. It was difficult to understand much of DI Shaw's dialogue and there were occasional problems with that of DS Collins. Which is one reason I had difficulty with following all of the plot.

Others have also mentioned the ticking of diversity boxes, one of which might well have related to the two seriously overweight officers. I don't think that PC Matthews would have passed a fitness test.

As with quite a few first series, there were enough loose ends left for a second one to tidy up, and one of these suggests that DI Shaw's marriage would be big trouble. If he does feature, then I hope his speech becomes more distinct.
