The Missing (2014)
Enjoyed both seasons immensely
While sick I had time to binge both seasons, which is the best way to address episodic cliff-hangers. The series reminds me of The Killing, at least the first 'good' season which aired in the US. No huge actors, but great acting by all.
As a parent it underscores a fear all parents have, and helps reinforce our mild paranoia where our kids are involved.
I had one question nagging me from season 2, when Julian is looking at tapes to try and find out how Sophie had spent the unaccounted 3 hours when she went missing from 'home'. She went and bought petrol, and she went and bought flowers to put on the Henry Reed's grave. But no explanation of why she would expend time putting flowers on the grave of someone she met briefly one evening when she was feverishly ill, who quickly diagnosed a burst appendix but then did not further help or cure her. And it doesn't make sense that Adam Gettrick wanted to place flowers on Henry Reed's grave or he would have done it himself, which would have been much safer. Seems like a loose end...
I loved the final scene of season 2, when Julian is counting backwards waiting to fall asleep for surgery, and the doctors note his strong constitution, and he stops counting at '3'. Is this a hint that a season 3 is a possibility? One hopes so...
