May 20, 2017The 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.

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.
