Missing

I just finished season 1- it was good..not exciting, but good. You have to remember this is from the UK & they have a different take on cop shows & the amount of blood & violence- not like in the US.

This is just easy to watch, the stories are all different & things get wrapped up with each episode- you don't have to be rivited to the screen to follow the story line.

I found this series on Acorn-which is a UK produced subscription. I find lots of good things on the Acorn service.

I suffered the indignity of the first episode of this latest 10 part soap opera and in doing so watched every tired cliché retread in the book. If you have run out of lines in a police drama then just insert "I'll get uniform on to it!" or " Uniform are on it, ma'am!" or better still "I thought uniform was dealing with that!" The ma'am in question doesn't get on with her boss, she doesn't know if she'll make important family gatherings because she's got a big case on, A chap is sulking 'cos his dad doesn't understand him being gay, an office romance is about as interesting as watching a fart dissipate.

Add to that the appalling script and the melodramatic nonsense of the story and you are in for a rough ride.

It's... well, just bloody awful!

I finished season 1 and am in the middle of season 2. It's not the most exciting police procedural show I've seen and it is a bit cliched at times with some of the writing. I don't particulary like the character of MJ. She is bossy and sometimes a little impatient to everyone and her family melodrama is not particularly interesting. The woman who plays her "missing" but found sister is just awful. I like the characters of Jason and Amy though, which is why I gave it 6 stars.

Was always curious to watch this show on acorn tv. I'm certainly glad I did! A great cast and surprisingly fantastic guest actors! A lot of good eastenders and coronation street and The royal today alumn!!

I rather like Pauline Quirke in anything she does. She always does the tough broad role rather well! Just to bad they didn't leave her with more of her own character like a mum and wife for this role as a smart DCI

The Show is short and simple half hour episodes which are light and thankfully not to much of the rigor mortises, blood and guts that doesn't appeal to us who are a bit faint at heart!

I just found this series, and I think it's delightful. The writing is good, as is the acting; there are several well known actors in it. The plots aren't complicated, but that's just what I need sometimes. The episodes are 45 minutes long, and the cases are wrapped up in each episode, perfect for some "comfort TV". By no means is this series "horrible" as one previous reviewer wrote. It's also nice that the lead actress isn't a beautiful young Hollywood type, but rather a real person; this is something I like about British series.
