    I found it incredibly hard to follow. It seemed to jump about so much from past to present. The only way I could tell was by the length and colour of hair! Love James Nesbit and never seen anything but great acting from him. Pity the editing wasn't better. Good story told in a corkscrew way.

    Parts of this were very good. The end of the first episode, in particular, was fantastic. But at times the show really did drag, and eventually I just wanted it to end already. The premise promised much and really didn't deliver much in the way of an interesting story. Lots of potential wasted, but still watchable.

    The cinematography is beautiful, with the present cast in a melancholy blue and the past cast in yellow, as if to remind us that terrible things are done in broad daylight. Some minor characters are intriguing.... But The Missing doesn't have much to say about the loss of a child beyond that it's an Unbearable Tragedy.

    A hard-charging, unfailingly suspenseful mystery whose tonnage of side dramas and veritable school of red herrings don’t, miraculously enough, undermine its strength. Though it is, on occasion, a close call.

    There have been an awful lot of movies and shows about lost children, but The Missing elevates the familiar dynamic to a new level with a gut wrenching mystery. By the end of the first episode, you really want to know what happened to the tyke while dreading where the answer might take you.
