I love Kyra Sedgwick and was very disappointed with the first episode. Her character is extremely annoying and I can understand the negative reviews. In any case it's 'growing on me' and whilst it's not a great BBC thriller, it's watcheable and there are some good performances. It's a pity that TV productions are judged so quickly in the USA because it doesn't deserve to be cancelled!
... View MoreAfter watching the third day and getting drawn in further, I wanted more and looked in IMDb.com to feast on any crumbs of information I can grab. While loving the story so much I am disheartened by the negatives in the reviews. This is an excellent show with depth in the act of child abduction, sexual promiscuity, addictions and the seemingly unimportant lies we tell others and even ourselves. I'm addicted to this show and how each actor acts and reacts to the flow of revelations in the story. This show and multiple plots, ie each characters back story and motivation is captivating, I am drawn in by trying to determine if each individual is acting solely or to the benefit of another, or, being played by another persons ends.I think the fault of others reviews are caught up in failing to see into the story and viewing superficially at the actor and not the character being portrayed. Show Kyra as much as you want, she is the star, that's how that rolls. Keep up the good work crew, I'm Your fan...
... View MoreI have a feeling that it's going to turn out that the housekeeper/nanny and the gardener took the girl to stay with them because the mother is a drug addict even though she is a seemingly successful career woman. I'm probably wrong and I actually hope I am and that there is some big plot twist at the end of the show that leaves everyone shocked. I don't know what direction this plot is going in but I hope for the best.
... View MoreWe are introduced to Ms. Sedgewick's character Jane Sadler while she attempts to remember incidents in her traumatic childhood by parents more interested in parties than their children. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree as this first time TV producer, uses Ambien, wine and coke within a couple of hours of putting her daughter to sleep.When the police arrive and take their time before even looking for the young girl I couldn't help think of Kyra's hit show the Closer. In that Los Angeles, when a child was missing the LAPD declared a Critical Missing, launching the full resources of the LAPD to find them.Sandler is so concerned for her daughter's safety she lies to police then goes to work. A likable character she is not.As this is just TV there's no reason to care about the daughter. I will continue to watch to see what a terrible person Sadler turns out to be.
