I really enjoyed very much this serie , I watched all episodes in 2 days, could not stop watching it

Season one was great and Season two even better. So many plot twists and turns. Great character development. A must see!

Forget the reviews that have the heading "contains spoilers". The series itself its very easy to guess everything from the beginning. Highly Rated! my hopes were high!Firstly amateur script. The writer has watched the news and taken every story from Madeleine Mccann disappearance then changed the name and gender. I don't understand why most British hit series have a very slow dumbed down script for their characters. Audience will get bored and will find it very hard to finish. Following on from the script the directing is appalling. The father is given the lead character and I assume they wanted him to be portrayed as a loving father who doesn't give up and will not take NO for an answer. As I soldiered and watched I did not see those qualities and its a shame. His portrayed as stupid who doesn't know how to react and has no people skills. Wife leaves him because he still wants to search for his son there isn't enough compelling evidence that his dead and he has hope. The Woman of course we're not suppose to like her, just like Maddy Mccann's Mother or tho I like how the show has changed suspicion of murder from the mother to the father, Maybe they were scared of getting sued for Copyright infringements!The Potential for this story was great if it had a shorter story and not that awful ending. 1.Pay a better writer 2.Pay a better director

There are so many great series right now (and over the past 5 years or so) on television. But I'd easily put this in my top 5 favorites. The acting is great and the writing is superb. Being involved in television production and also making my own content in my free time, also leaves me with a great deal of appreciation for how much skilled work went into all aspects of this show. The level of expertise and effort evident in the cinematography, planning, casting, and (most importantly) the editing, leaves the viewer with an experience more akin to a VERY long feature-length film. It's a great heart-wrenching journey.But be WARNED!! You must be a patient viewer to enjoy this program. If you don't care for slow-moving plot-lines, DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW!SPOILERS - SPOILERS - SPOILERSI loved the way the first season ended. I enjoy abrupt endings that leave it to the viewer to imagine what happens after that. Falling action and extreme closure are something I do not need to enjoy a story. So, I'm sorry if you are like my wife and hated the ambiguous ending to the first season.My take on it was that Tony Hughes found his boy. Something we're not privy to, led him to that community. There was the crude drawing on the window condensation. And that boy easily looks like his son would. So, even if Tony is taken away and put in a mental ward, he knows that his son is alive and seems well taken care of. At this point in his terrible life, I think that knowledge alone would leave him fully content for his remaining days.Now, the second season is another story. Complete closure this season save for the results of the surgery. And, all things considered, as happy of an ending as one could expect. But as much as I like season one's ambiguous ending, that kind of closure never bothers me if it's done right.In closing, I feel that season 1 is better than season 2 in the most critical ways. The story is just better. Season 2 does have better production values and closure. Plus it is still very entertaining. But I did not feel quite as connected to the characters and the suffering they were experiencing.
