The Missing - BBC

Oh my god. Just caught up with this on record (originally aired Tuesday) and it's absolutely riveting.

Hard to watch as a parent and more than a shade of 'McCann' about it, but incredibly dramatic and moves at a proper pace, rather than 45 minutes of nothing happening followed by a poor attempt at a cliff-hangar ending.

The ending of episode one was just spine-chilling :eek:

Was brilliant. Been a long time an opening of British series has grabbed me right from the get-go. I thought I recognised the French Detective Inspector bloke before, so I looked him and amazingly he was one of the Russian (or whatever country it was) generals in Goldeneye!

Really enjoyed this too and look forward to next weeks episode.

You guys are in for a treat. Fantastic series with some really clever writing and acting. Dubbed as the BBC's answer to broadchurch..

Just watched this tonight on catchup. Seems very nicely done indeed, this is where the BBC shines, you just know ITV wouldnt pull this off in the same way.

Cannot wait for the next part...

The first episode was very good.

Zbornak · 12 Nov 2014 at 20:41

Anyone watch last nights episode?

Evo8 · 28 Nov 2014 at 14:50

Totally confused by this now. More questions than answers at the moment.

:'( brilliant show.

Good series but a stupid, cheap ambiguous ending.

Unless there is a season 2

Zbornak · 16 Dec 2014 at 22:47

Was awesome! Can't wait to see what else the writers produce.

There is.. ( watch after the credits )

BUT it seem to give the idea that it would be based on a new case and the french detective would be back.. So maybe not answers on Olly

That's it for the Olly case. No more answers.

So was it Olli at the end? Or did Christopher Nolan direct it and we're meant to make our own mind up?

The latter. It's just irritating.

I just hate shows/films that do that. I've invested 8 hours of my time watching it, don't mug me off and give me the "up to you" ending. I want to know!

disappointing ending

I'll have to look this programme up. Always liked James Nesbitt.
