Season 1 Review:
The mystery around Paige’s disappearance stands at the center of this story, yet it is only one component of the tale. Shocking revelations, horrifying cruelty and complex lies engulf the narrative itself, even when it leans toward the preposterous. Still, the stellar cast, taut pacing and inventive storylines keep the show engaging, even when it could’ve very well fallen apart.

Season 1 Review:
There are many good performances, but I was especially fond of Jones (co-creator and co-star, with James Corden, of the much-loved “Gavin & Stacey”), whose no-nonsense shamus could support a show of her own, and Gledhill, as the only character allowed to display any sort of cheeriness — a necessary leavening agent over eight dark episodes.

Season 1 Review:
It’s not a groundbreaking role for Nesbitt but it does remind you that few do the tormented Everyman better than he does. And, just as deeply pleasingly, it has the always-magnificent Tracy-Ann Oberman. .... The plot moves in increasingly convoluted but well-oiled grooves towards its resolution over the course of eight episodes.

Season 1 Review:
here are lazy shortcuts to characterisation, with several players reduced to little more than narrative cogs. But as disposable entertainment goes, Run Away is effective hokum. And sometimes, particularly on New Year’s Day, that’s precisely what the patient requires.

Season 1 Review:
The show shortchanges its audience on the one quality essential to every great mystery. Logic. .... The subplots are seductive enough, particularly the “Natural Born Killers”-inspired spree being conducted by the mysterious Dee and Ash (Maeve Courtier-Lilley and Jon Pointing), which takes place away from the rails of the Paige-Simon journey, at least for a while.
