About this show

The Tunnel is set against the backdrop of Europe in crisis. When a prominent French politician is found dead on the border between the UK and France, detectives Karl Roebuck (Stephen Dillane, Game of Thrones) and Elise Wassermann (Clémence Poésy, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II) are sent to investigate on behalf of their respective countries. The case takes a surreal turn when a shocking discovery is made at the crime scene, forcing the French and British police into an uneasy partnership. As the serial killer uses ever more elaborate and ingenious methods to highlight the moral bankruptcy of modern society, Karl and Elise are drawn deeper into his increasingly personal agenda.

Taut, nail biter, Great acting. Based on a Scandavian series. Haven't watched the entire series yet but if you like John Le Carre and Deutschland 83 you should enjoy this.

A great story. Interesting plot with themes of transnationalism and xenophobia. The themes are parallel in the plot but also in the relationships between the characters. Very engaging, and easy to get into.
