Te echo de menos

Lots of familiar traits from Harlan Coben's characters in this adaptation of his book, and similarly as with so many of his books, it would be good to not have as many twists that you can see a mile off, once you've read other stories.

The series does rattle along at a decent pace, with Steve Pemberton doing his usual creepy character best, in some scenes that are quite unexpected.

Pemberton's strand through the story provides the best amd most engaging part of it all with the odd unexpected twist.

All in all, if you've seen other Netflix adaptations of HC's books you know what to expect. Not the best thing you'll ever see, but fine for binging on a new year's day. Good, too, that it didn't have too many episodes and get bloated.

Here's a proofread and polished version of your update:

Just binge-watched all five episodes. I wasn't really feeling it by episode two but decided to see it through.

Cohen adaptations seem to follow a pattern of largely unrelated or overly complicated story threads that all neatly come together in the final episode. While previous ones have been quite good, this one felt really weak in comparison.

There wasn't much of a storyline in this one, and all the "aha" moments were crammed into the last episode-typical Cohen from what I've seen.

The acting was okay, and the characters weren't terrible, but the story just wasn't compelling or engaging. It felt more like a matter of simply getting through to the end.

I wouldn't say don't watch it, but if you have other options in your queue, I'd definitely put those ahead of this one.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like adjusted further!

This is the first time I've written a review but I felt I had to as it definitely wasn't as bad as people are saying.

I am notoriously hard to please and never watch anything under a 7 but I really wanted to like this as I like so many of the actors.

I thoroughly enjoyed it, it was bright and glossy and pretty easy to follow. The actors all did a great job but it had enough twists and turns to keep me guessing.

The main characters did an especially good job and didn't disappoint me at all.

Definitely give it a go and go into it with an open mind.

I have now learnt that I should watch more things with a rating under 7.

First of all, when I first watched the official trailer of the tv series I liked it and that's the reason why I decided to watch it. Eventually, it was just an average tv series and probably I wouldn't watch it more than once. The tv series synopsis was interesting and mysterious, even though there are many shows/movies similar to this one. Unfortunately, the storyline wasn't well-written because there were many plot holes and it wasn't well-explained. The main characters were kinda interesting, well-developed and likeable. The filming locations of show (UK) were beautiful and the cinematography was well-done. The casting choices were nice and their performances were descent. I have to admit, it was a kinda intense show and there were some suspenseful moments, however there weren't any insane plot twists. Gladly, the runtime and pacing of each episode wasn't too long, even though there were some boring parts during the show. In my opinion, the final episode was probably the best episode of the show. The ending was kinda unpredictable, but it wasn't well-explained. Overall, "Missing You" was an average tv series, kinda mysterious, but it wasn't well-explained and that's the reason why I wouldn't recommend it to my friends.

I'm a huge Harlan Coben fan and was very much looking forward to this adaptation. I sa3 it through to the end but wish I'd gone with my instinct and given up after the first episode. I don't think Harlan's novels translate well into British shows.

The characters are unlikable, annoying and wooden.

The dialogue is cringey and forced.

There was zero chemistry between the actors.

Plot holes and unnecessary story lines.

Continuity and attention to detail is poor.

There is a lot of jumping to conclusions and coincidences.

Big talents like Lenny Henry, James Nesbitt and Steve Pemberton were just wasted.

By the end of the series I was just glad it was over.
