Police detective Ian Ridley’s life fell apart 11 years ago when his young daughter, Maggie, disappeared without a trace. Now working as a police dispatcher, the only thing that has kept him going is his implacable refusal to accept that she might be gone forever. When he receives a distress call from a teenage girl he is certain is Maggie, he will stop at nothing to find her and reunite his broken family, whatever the cost.

Linda Holmes Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) 5 days ago
There are lots of levels of culpability for lots of people about lots of things. And I think that's what makes the show compelling to me. Go to Full Review J. Kelly Nestruck Globe and Mail Sep 12, 2026
Worth watching for Brammall’s fresh take on a reckless anti-hero destroying the family he’s trying to save and the underappreciate landscapes in the state of Victoria. Go to Full Review James Jackson The Times (UK) Sep 10, 2026
4/5
If Last Seen is about as cheerful as Wallander with a hangover, it really is gripping too: a study in parental protective instincts twisted out of shape. So fair dinkum. Go to Full Review Jack Seale Radio Times 1 day ago
5/5
As the show’s heart, Brammall is effortlessly likeable enough for us to invest completely in what happens to him, despite knowing it will be bittersweet at best. Last Seen is seriously good. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Sep 17, 2026
Last Seen is bleak as hell. But for those who find the bleakness of crime dramas strangely comforting, it's well executed. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) Sep 16, 2026
If the suspense doesn’t quite work, it does convince as a well-performed, raw psychological study of family tragedy and corrosive grief, and one elevated by a refusal to opt for a pat, tidy ending. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Lawrence B @RT80000652 2 days ago This show is amazing, I typically don’t like these type of shows, especially the topic matter, which is dark. but holy moly I feel like I’m actually watching actual events. The acting superb. i’ve also never wanted the bad guy to go down more than him. I can’t wait until he gets his comeuppance. if anybody sees this, this is a real review. I watched four episodes and I’m completely hooked! See more Buff F @BuffFilms 2 days ago Australia's bid at a shot in the big leagues doesn't stick the landing. Starts off okay and quickly goes downhill. Main guy does his best impression of a leading man without quite getting there. Skip it See more Slick R @SlickReviewer 6 days ago Mediocre and slow. If you like shows without any twists in the plot then this is for you. See more Trudy W @Trudy891 Sep 18, 2026 Amazing show about a missing child, 3 episodes in but each one has left me wanting more and isn't an obvious styled show, lots of weird twists and turns. See more J L @jflysonic Sep 14, 2026 Good first episode but at the end of the first episode they show what is coming up next and they practically showed the whole thing, spoiling everything. I tried watching the 2nd episode and it was obvious and quickly went downhill, weak storyline and was very disappointing, it had the potential to be a very good show. See more Pamela B @RT52008016 Sep 14, 2026 Honestly, kind of boring. A bit too obvious. The rest of the story will likely be formulaic given the first episode’s lack of nuance or suspense. Won’t bother watching unless somebody can convince me that it won’t be as woefully expected as I think. See more Read all reviews
