In The Tunnel, a UK adaptation of the superb Danish-Swedish series The Bridge, detectives Karl Roebuck and Elise Wasserman working together to find a serial killer who left the upper-half body of a French politician and the lower-half of a British prostitute in the Channel Tunnel, at the midpoint between France and the UK. They later learn that the killer—who comes to be nicknamed the ‘Truth Terrorist’ — is on a moral crusade to highlight many social problems, terrorising both countries in the process.
Season 2 focused on a kidnapping and the third and final season, known as The Tunnel: Vengeance, was about the hunt for a serial killer called The Pied Piper.
