The Missing is a feast--albeit the most chilly, emotionally devastating feast ever--for armchair sleuths. Read full review

Robert Rorke

Feb 9, 2017

The Missing is a mystery that affects a family as well as community. In a season short on promising shows, this one should be at the top of your list. Read full review

IndieWire Ben Travers

Feb 10, 2017

Baptiste wants to give them a happy ending, without ignoring the haunting lessons. By embracing him--as well as an ambitious premise-The Missing improves in Season 2. Read full 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

It’s an engaging mystery full of twists and turns that may not make complete sense when all put together, but moves quickly enough that you don’t care as it’s unfolding. Mystery fans shouldn’t miss it. Read full review

The Missing is harrowing, absorbing, and difficult to stop watching; in its multifaceted storytelling about one toxic case in a small town, it offers a wide-ranging, intimate, and mercilessly honest view of human tragedy. Read full review

Dorothy Rabinowitz

Feb 9, 2017

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

Tchéky Karyo might be the most intriguing actor I have found on TV in years. I love watching Baptiste's every motivation. A true modern hero. I thoroughly enjoyed season 1 and after just the first episode of season 2 I am immediately pulled back in.

I thoroughly enjoyed season 1 and after just the first episode of season 2 I am immediately pulled back in. If you are unfamiliar with The Missing take note that each season stands on its own so you can jump right into the current season without having watched season 1. Another example of why we are in a second Golden Age of television.… Expand

Already seen the full series as it was broadcast last year in the UK on the BBC, and I am telling you right now that Season/Series 2 of The Missing gets better with each episode. Easily the best TV drama I have seen in years.

I liked the first season of The Missing, but the 2nd season I loved. The 'problem' of the first was that it focused too much on the parents of the missing child and their relationship while the 2nd season took the best thing from the previous (the investigator Baptiste) and put the focusI liked the first season of The Missing, but the 2nd season I loved. The 'problem' of the first was that it focused too much on the parents of the missing child and their relationship while the 2nd season took the best thing from the previous (the investigator Baptiste) and put the focus mostly on him and the investigation.

Obviously we are going to see the fallout of what a missing child does to a family, but I felt that was done better balanced than before. The storyline was a little more 'sensational' this time that it was unrealistic as what happens in the beginning of the series would never happen in real life. But this needn't be a documentary, and this story gave us more swirls and surprises than a more realistic one could have. I was entertained and interested how the writers progressed it along throughout the season.

I thought the ending was also better and gave a more satisfying closure than the 1st season. To be honest I thought this season was going to be a continuation of that story because of it. Luckily it was an all new storyline. Very well done show, can't wait to see what they'll do in season 3.… Expand

Having already seen the whole series in UK I can honestly say that The Missing is one of the best British dramas in years. Gripping and exciting but also nuanced, heart wrenching and at times shocking. If you like great writing and acting then you'll like this, it's that simple.

Great performances all round with Keeley Hawes and David Morrisey as good as ever but it's Tcheky Karyo that steals the show as (the now iconic) Baptiste in a performance that's surely in line for many awards.… Expand

Good TV, you've seen it before, but the Euro theater The Missing occurs in brings together a whole lot of my favorite things. Loved season 1 & this season in equal measure, this show messes with you, but it does it really well.

Starts off well as many of these British shows do, but given more time it evolves from a tight little thriller into an Octopus "is she, ain't she, is he, ain't he" who did (or didn't ) do it.

Luckily for most viewers the twists come hard and fast enough to speed right past our critical brain straight to the lizard one ready to gobble it up. You might notice, en route, that the initial plot follows almost to the letter the U.S's "The Family" but in more scenic Germany, where apparently the British Army is still occupying territory. 3 kidnappings over 11 years and the local germans are content to let the Brit's and and OCD Froggie run around sniffing out the bad guy. Hint. Why wasn't this filmed in Stockholm? We even get to see ISIS in a cameo role. It takes 7 episodes to get to the bad guy and one final one to track him down to his lair in the gorgeous Swiss Alps. Why so long? Everybody interviewed refuses to talk until they get brow beaten into given up just enough for our froggie to dash off again. Unarmed of course, and near death from a brain tumor that has the nasty side effect of giving him hallucinations about his nagging wife who has the temerity to keep begging him to come home and get surgery.… Expand

The plot is convoluted, and often not particularly enjoyable. The mood is excessively gloomy, and the characters are mostly unlikable. For me, the show is too one-note, and by the midpoint of the season, I gave up in search of a different type of show with a more coherent storyline.
