Vanished (TV Series) The Tunnel (2006) User Reviews

So far, so good

[james-plett · 8/10 · 29 August 2006]

After seeing the first episode, I was at best, skeptical. Things were fast paced, and rushed, and well, many of the actors seemed out of place, especially Gale Harold.

Not so with "The Tunnel". Having just seen it hours ago, I must say, it is definite proof that this series is headed in a definitely good direction. Combine 24 and CSI and you easily have Vanished.

This series is definitely worth a watch, and hopefully, with enough viewers, Vanished will remain off the cutting block (scuzzlebutt has it that the first episode placed first for its time slot while the repeat placed second overall!). Its an amazing show, and the worst thing that could happen is it not getting picked up after the first half dozen episodes. The previous reviewer gave a good job of outlining the episode, so that's enough said in that regard.

what was the name of the song played in the bar scene?

the show was good, and had the makings of a good TV series, but its obvious that when more shows start coming out, vanished may as well get drowned. however its the kind of show, where if you watch it every week, layers are unpeeled and you find out that there is much more than meets the eye. the show spans further than simple government conspiracies and i heard it involves the very history of the united states of America. the show is fast paced and doesn't leave you bored -- a trait that may have well been copied over from 24, but far from perfected. the one bad thing is that you don't feel a connection with some of the characters, and some of the story lines are also quite boring.

what was the name of the song that was played in the bar scene when the guy proposes to sara johnson?

Vanished: The Tunnel is confusing but still intriguing

[tavm · 6/10 · 28 August 2006]

Last week, we found out the senator's missing wife, Sara Collins, was also missing 12 years before by a guy in a bar who saw her picture on television and recognized her as Nikki Johnson, a woman he had planned to marry at the time. There was also another woman named Amanda who was also missing several years back but just turned up dead. She was the wife of a former mayor who, because he has some secrets to hide, commits suicide in front of the FBI agent investigating Collins disappearance. The senator's daughter confronts boyfriend about his bloody sweatshirt. Her brother has been communicating with their birth mother by E-mail which the FBI now knows about. A search in a tunnel for Sara has turned up nothing but it's at the same tunnel that the bar guy shows up to give female tabloid reporter an envelope that proves Sara is not her real name...Part of this episode confused me with the various twists that seem to come out of nowhere and I still find myself wishing Ming-Na had more to do. Still, there's enough to keep me watching and hoping that what comes will eventually make a lot more sense.
