Season 1 Review: This is one of the year’s very best TV programs, hard as it sometimes is to endure. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Credit the writers and the director--and the various wonderful acting performances you’ll see sprinkled about--for making The Missing something more than just a whodunit. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Though its central mystery may feel old hat to aficionados of the genre, The Missing seems to have a deep respect for its audience. Its red herrings are few and its emphasis on people and their feelings help elevate the series to another level. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It’s very good, a swift-moving crime thriller that also takes the time to measure the effects of the crime on Tony and Emily’s marriage, their state of mind, and the lives of the French townspeople who were drawn into the investigation and may be again. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The Missing is one compelling piece of work, full of what the anguish of having an abducted child does to a family over the years. It’s also a prickly mystery story that occasionally relies on a few too-neat coincidences to pull off its startling conclusion. The performance that ties everything together is Karyo’s.

Season 2 Review: It’s tighter and more confident, and the choice to again have one director (Ben Chanan) ties the episodes together visually. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The series doesn’t lack for suspenseful moments, the settings are intriguing, and there’s much to be said for the strong performance by Mr. Morrissey and that of Roger Allam. ... None of this can offset the burdens of a production lost in its own wilderness of plot schemes. Read full review
