Gerard O'Donovan Daily Telegraph (UK) 04/16/2019
4/5
This was also a drama that transcended all such complaints simply by reaching into your chest cavity and wringing your heart out for all it was worth. Go to Full Review
Lucy Hunter Johnston London Evening Standard 03/26/2018
The missing child has become a cliché in TV drama but James's tough vision of London is believable. Suranne Jones excels as Nelly's ex, Claire. Go to Full Review
Deborah Ross The Mail on Sunday (UK) 03/19/2018
4/5
It's terrific. It's so good that even when it's not that good and the plot impetus is lost or you're thinking, 'Hang on, he finds that house in Streatham simply by going to Streatham?', it doesn't much matter. Go to Full Review
Emma Clark-Dow The Post NZ 10/21/2022

Alain E @AlainE Dec 30 This doesn’t feel realistic at all. We meet the main hero who maybe delivers mail, but mostly vacillates between his two girlfriends who live in the same high rise. He has a daughter, now in her teens, whom he last saw when she was three, although she lives with her mother in the same town. When the daughter disappears armed police comes to his apartment and when he doesn’t open the door in ten seconds they break it down. Mind you this is UK. He is arrested for suspected abduction and when they release him the next day for lack of evidence they have taken his clothes and another officer, Black like him, gives him some money for transportation. Don’t let ICE watch this show. He then decides to visit his ex and shows MI 5 skills as he quickly realizes that the police is following him and how he manages to escape from them. And on and on.I tolerated 45 minutes. See more S T Dec 28 Way too much DEI content, makes it fake and unrealistic See more Terri P @KeeperOfRoo Dec 22 This had an excellent plot, a great ensemble cast that worked well together. The acting was amazing. The reason it’s not getting 5 stars is the main character. Nelly is a man who never had an interest in meeting his child and happily signed away his parental rights. When Jody goes missing and he is shown a video of her, he doesn’t recognize her. But from then on out, his grieving father routine is over the top. He is unlikable, loud, rude and treats his friends as nothing more than chauffeurs and gofers. His character makes the entire show a trial to watch. See more John T @Thrash 11/03/2022 A well written and engaging story with great characters and acting. As always, Lennie James was terrific. See more Sharon L 10/01/2021 Great story and characters. Well played See more 07/09/2021 Relevations never go the way you think, characters are shown as all grey. Music is cool. It will blow you away. Guaranteed See more Read all reviews
