	Media	Author	Review
		Sam Wollaston The Guardian	"Not that it's bad. Not at all – it's atmospheric, intriguing, gripping, with interesting, complex characters and strong performances (...). It's just that it's exactly the same as the (recent) original."
		Gerard O'Donovan Telegraph	"At times felt more like a shot-for-shot copy of 'The Bridge' than any effort to reimagine it (...) But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t a well-made, even thrilling hour with plenty to grip and shock. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"
		Mike Hale The New York Times	"For those who come to 'The Tunnel' fresh, the story is still intriguing and amusingly outré (...) Ms. Poésy is fine as the clipped Frenchwoman who might have Asperger’s syndrome, but Mr. Dillane carries the show."
		Hank Stuever The Washington Post	"The first episode is serviceable but offers little that would persuade viewers who’ve already seen another adaptation to commit to this one, because, frankly, there’s not much new to see."
