If there's one thing ITV does well, it's a crime drama and this week, the broadcaster is bringing new episodes of The Towerto our screens.
The first series premiered in 2021 and went down a treat with TV fans, so it's no wonder that many have taken to social media to share how much they loved the first episode of the second instalment.
Many fans watching at home were saying the same thing and were in agreement that the first episode was a "rollercoaster." One person summed it up on Twitter, now known as X, by writing: "Excellent first episode. It is definitely a roller coaster, might have to binge-watch tonight."
A second said: "That's the first crime drama I've enjoyed/stuck with for agessss. My anxious/overactive mind is thankful. #TheTower." A third, meanwhile, commented: "So good having you all back on my screen, liking the direction and storyline already. Can't wait for tomorrow nights' episode."

Yes! ITV has already confirmed that a third series of The Tower is happening and is already in production. The third instalment will be adapted from Kate London's third novel, Gallowstreet Lane.
Screenwriter Patrick Harbinson said in a statement: "Gallowstreet Lane has a high-stakes drugs and gangs storyline with Jimmy and Emmett’s characters taking major roles. Sarah and Lizzie have gripping and heart-breaking stories too, as the drama of Portland Tower comes full circle. I firmly believe series three will be our best yet."
