    ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
    Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
    Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
    Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
    nicktatta Deep, thoughtful, acted in a fashion that feels more real than your real life. The depth in which the roles are played out leaves you feeling their emotions and not even sure if you want more. This, my friends, is a great show.
    Floyd Shoemaker Just finished up season 1. Sadly it didn't finish as well as it started. Like many crime series it starts off strong and interesting, then is slows down, and gets slower, and slower, and slower until you are begging for it to end. Then it ends and you wonder what just happened. It's disappointing when shows like this get lazy about halfway through and just keep stretching it out to fill 8 episodes when it should have been completed in 6.
    plexonics The twists turns and spiraling plot lines of The Missing are magnificent. Season 1 and James Nesbitt pull you along a path of investigation to find missing child Oliver. James Nesbitt mesmerizes as the father of the kidnapped Oliver. Tchéky Karyo is the relentless police detective that cannot draw a restful breath until he solves the mystery of the missing child. Frances OConnor and Jason Flemying Sround out the great cast. Season 1 wraps up with a question rather than an answer. Season 2 opens with Tchéky Karyo coming out of retirement to search for the two missing girls. David Moressy, Keeley Hawes, Laura Fraser, and the always brilliant Roger Allam are perfect in their parts. Characters locked in their worlds of deceit, anger, and confusion.One of the best dramas I have seen in a long time. Why are the British so good at this genre? I can't answer that, but I can answer "What is the Missing?" is "It is brilliant!"On a political side note, there are many scenes of excellent EU State sponsored health care that made me jealous!
    jflinco 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...
