Season 3 Review:
Newcomers to the drama might be forgiven for thinking that Lizzie is the lead character. Actually, she and Sarah make a complementary double act – an impulsive yin to Sarah’s more thoughtful and closed-off yang. .... But it was Steve Bradshaw in his undercover role who stole this opener.

Season 2 Review:
We’re unsure how the cold case ties in with the domestic homicide case that brings Collins and Adama together. It may not, but it seems that having a second, unrelated case taking Collins’ time would be a waste of plot if it didn’t tie into the other case somehow. We also are curious to see if Collins’ personal issues, plus her anger with Bradshaw, will factor in.

Season 3 Review:
It’s a series that gets better as it develops (the four parts are shown on consecutive nights), delivering a real shock along the way. Yes, there is the odd corny line, such as Collins saying, “I care about two young lives! I care about the law!” or Bradshaw saying, “You can try walking away from the street but the street won’t walk away from you.” But it’s the best I’ve seen The Tower so far.

Season 3 Review:
You also get the feeling that The Tower is trying to say something about policing ends and means, with Collins’s lofty integrity counterpointing Adams’s result-driven pragmatism. But that gets lost in the mush of a story that feels cobbled together from a secondhand news report. From top beginnings, The Tower has crash-landed with a thump.
