Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

KeepYourGoodHeart Being a big fan of Investigation Discovery, I thought I would tune into this show along with my usual other viewings of the programs on this network. This show is probably the best on ID and should be much more popular than it is! The cases are truly haunting because we know that these are the real stories of real people and what makes it very personal is seeing their friends and family tell their own stories in their own words on the show.This show has a little bit of everything: people that were found dead but nobody knows what happened to them, those that are still missing seemingly without a trace, and those who were found alive and got a happy ending. Some cases have their obvious suspects (without enough proof to prosecute them most of the time) while others are true mysteries. Each story is so different from the other but all are equally captivating.The show does a great job at attempting to present all the known facts in the most unbiased manner possible while looking at all the different perspectives offered by law enforcement, the friends and families, etc. Some cases I've been so drawn into that I periodically look online for updates and while I don't really know if the show has solved any cases, I definitely think that it is a powerful tool to bring the reality of disappearances and kidnappings to your average viewer.I look forward to watching the rest of the new season!

Danny Blankenship For years now on "ID" Discovery channel this series called "Disappeared" has aired and I just recently watched some episodes while channel surfing, yet it's right for my taste because I love mystery and crime shows especially those that involve real life cases as I was always an "Unsolved Mysteries" addict. And you all know when you see news footage or the paper headlines it's panic and dread and doom for everyone when someone goes missing or they are abducted and the pain and drama sorrow for the families involved are tough to describe as they search for answers. Many of these cases are tough to solve as they have no witnesses and often the motive is robbery, sex, rape or even human trafficking. The series acts out each case recreating the story plus it shows actual news footage about each case and interviews law enforcement officials and family members of the missing. This program is a tough watch yet it's a program of hope that ask and searches for answers of those missing and it tries to find answers and closure of these hard to crack cold cases.

hilaryjrp I discovered "Disappeared" in 2013 on Netflix. I didn't know what "binge-watching" meant at the time but learned fast. As another reviewer has said, this series is haunting and riveting. No other true crime show--maybe even including beloved Unsolved Mysteries-- comes close.There are several reasons for its effectiveness. Early seasons had minimal musical background. Intrusive music in true crime shows often overwhelms, rivals, or trivializes stories of heartache and ongoing loss. What little music there is conveys the melancholy and ominousness of the "disappeared's" loved ones' lives. The narration likewise is not melodramatic; the single-camera interviews have often brought me to tears, because parents, siblings, police officers look straight into the camera as if they're appealing to you--and they are. So many of these stories remain sincere mysteries. Tragically, a few have been solved with the discovery of remains. Fewer have been solved with the surprise reappearance of a person who consciously chose to disappear (and these stories are often as troubling, in their own way, as those of the poor souls whose fates we have to imagine). No matter what the outcome, "Disappeared" somehow has an unmatched sensitivity in approaching an awful subject. It plumbs the psychological background of any given missing person without being prurient or sensational. It is compassionate to those missing people--generally very young--whom the show freely admits never knew a level playing field in life. I would not recommend that children younger than thirteen watch this show--especially in re-runs or on streaming online "channels." Two stories in particular concern missing children and are among the most disturbing I've ever seen. On the other hand, if I had teenage children, I would make "Disappeared" required viewing. So many of the stories deal with young people trying to rebuild lives ruined by substance abuse, or plain abuse--but who choose to befriend or become lovers of partners whose danger is almost written on their faces. The word "modest" comes to mind when I think of "Disappeared." I know nothing about the producers or history of the series. All I know is that it has remained my "go-to" streaming crime series; I don't feel like a voyeur watching it. I often watch it and say prayers for the parents, the kid sister, the older brother, the bereaved wife or husband, still waiting for peace in the most awful of circumstances.Blessings on every one of these folks still waiting, and on those whose worst fears have been realized. "Disappeared" honors victims; it doesn't glorify crime. Do not miss this superb program.

marymorrissey this show is pretty meager in terms of production, very splashy and annoying in terms of post (incredibly over-dramatic titles used very very liberally. Anyway I'm watching a 2nd episode online, pausing just to make a review inspired by the fact that this character being profiled, this feller who went missing in Colorado evidently liked the company of pretty women and liked to pahr-tayy. OK, so that makes it easy oh hell actually though it starts way before that getting annoying. This guy would like to come to work early and make the coffee and have his ritual bowl of oat meal so we get umpteenthousand shots of the durned coffeepot and these really annoying shots of the bowl of oatmeal. Evidently either production team will not settle for the P-poor resemblances managed by such models for this kinda show as "Unsolved Mysteries" (Cosgrove-Muerer) or else they couldn't manage to find anyone even remotely looking like the subject of the two episodes I watched, thus we have all these absurd headless coverages of these doomed individuals. I had to laugh especially in the oatmeal sequence because the poor actor did try to put as much as he could into it, tapping the spoon on the side of the bowl to settle the oatmeal into the reservoir of the tea/tablespoon. Anyway we get many many many many shots of the coffeepot, the oatmeal-in-action and then later comes that marvelous festival champagne for a benefit. The fact is this show ought to be doing 2 unsolved disappearances per episode and the sloth of taking on only one with the limited material they've captured to put it together results in quite deadly television from which I was doomed to disappear before the end of either of the two episodes I attempted to view!
