Betsy L 01/25/2025 So slow paced that we fast forwarded through much of the last 4 episodes. I would pay money to get the time back I wasted watching this. The red herrings are so ridiculously developed and then the entire mystery is solved in the final episode having zero to do with the narrative after hours and hours of tangential, unnecessary minor character development. Don't watch. See more S 03/09/2023 The worst ending of any show I've ever watched. Shabbily put together and strayed from the entire theme leading up to it. HUGE disappointment to an enjoyable earlier watch. Who came up with this ending??! TERRIBLE See more Bart d @LostVillage 02/07/2023 Great serie. Slow TV but thrilling till the end. With great, intense acting. Highly recommended. See more michelle h 10/12/2022 This is a captivating series which a majority of audiences will like. But it had some flaws that could make lesser fans of mystery throw in the towel before the final episode. The biggest issue is how drawn out the series feels. A good cut would be useful by tightening up some of the character reactions and dialogue and improving the flow which ultimately would get us closer to the scant breadcrumbs provided by the filmmakers about the boy's disappearance which is what I personally cared about most. Also, I thought the two main actors (James Nesbitt and Francis O'Connor) overacted in the middle episodes which brought the series down for me somewhat. It is understandable the anger, frustration and sadness parents would have when their boy first goes missing and as they get closer to finding out the truth, but along the way things felt forced, particularly by Nesbitt, an actor I respect. Luckily, the brilliant Tchéky Karyo played the detective in the series and he helped make up for the series faults. To be honest, the levity of his character provided a much needed balance and was what kept me coming back for more. I wouldn't have been able to endure too much more of the heaviness Nesbitt kept doling out. See more 09/01/2021 Mildly entertaining but ruined by bad acting and bad script. Nothing ever makes sense her. For example, this scene in episode 2 where they find the drawing on the wall, this female detective keeps smirking right in front of the dad which is so crazy but also she says it must be a coincidence. The scarf AND the drawing yet you still think it's coincidence?? Nothing ever makes any sense. See more Per S 07/08/2021 Quite gripping at first, as the plot and characters are established, but then it all fades away, back and forth between present and retrospect, but like there's a compulsion to make it complex, until it gets too convolted and it all nearly falls apart. Also some of the characters lose credibility and the acting performances vary steadily more in quality, with tendentious over acting or one-dimensionality character building. The total becomes divergent. See more Read all reviews
