A missing boy plus a dysfunctional family headed by an arrogant, overbearing patriarch simply makes for an annoying shoutfest. IF you enjoy seeing hours of family bickering, shouting and screaming at each other, you might enjoy this. Otherwise, I'd stay well away. Just awful!!
... View MoreI am not sure what it is about this series that cannot connect on an emotional level even with a very heavy subject like child abduction. I watched two episodes and I can say the director tries hard with irrelevant flash backs and long drawn out scenes to bring depth and connect to the audience but fails miserably. I stopped watching before the end of 2nd episode as I could not bear more bad acting and fake outbursts of the leading actors. I am amazed it has gotten so many decent reviews!!! If you want a solid series and like the subject matter, you should see The Missing with Tchéky Karyo (French actor) as a fantastic leading actor who delivers and brings tremendous depth to the character and the plot
... View MoreI really enjoyed watching the first 5 episodes as it was gripping. I was disappointed with the last episode as it was too rushed as if the writers made it all up last minute. The ending, when they found Anthony was unrealistic, because no-one thought to make Anthony look older. All kids grow and quickly change and this kid looked like he had gone missing the day before despite being missing for over 2 years!!! Come on, if you are going to say he has been missing for 2 years then common sense prevails that he is unlikely to look the exact same. Very lame ending too...the grandfather shooting himself to 'save' his grandson was ridiculous...if he waited 30 seconds the SWAT Team arrived and would have got Stephen Price. Thank heavens there is no reason for a second series!!
... View MoreThis would be a great show if the grandfather/judge could act, His acting reminds me of the episode of Friends where Phoebe tries to act. He ruins the show and his character is annoying as hell. Also find it a bit hard to believe there would be a full investigation team looking for a cat killer.
