    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.

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.

    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 thatHaving already seen the whole series in UK I can honestly say that The Missing is one of the best British dramas in years.

    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

    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.

    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. After all, TV should be entertaining, and this felt more like punishment.

    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 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

    Though many of the elements here are familiar from other tales of disappearance and reappearance--it’s a veritable genre--each scene and every player is authentic in turn.

    The show toggles primarily from 2014 to the present, but some of the twists seem right out of Bad Thriller Handbook, especially the climax of the second night. ... Yet as these players elevate every turn and twist of this dark drama.

    Starz doesn't often deliver shows spoken of in the same qualitative terms as the best of HBO, Netflix or Showtime, but The Missing is just such a commodity -- the sort of ambitious, meticulously crafted character study that's well worth seeking out.
