Tu me manques

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!

With less than half a minute into the first episode, the clichés of modern storytelling were served.

The story is riddled with clichés, predictable twists, and underdeveloped characters that make it difficult to become emotionally invested. The protagonist's motivations are shallow, and the supporting cast is mostly reduced to stereotypical archetypes. The pacing feels uneven, with sluggish exposition dragging down the first act and a rushed finale that resolves conflicts too conveniently.

The dialogue is another weak point. Many lines feel forced and to some extent unnatural. The cast's performances are hindered by a script that fails to provide depth or nuance.

That's all I have about this one.

I regret wasting my time on Missing You. The series was painfully boring and utterly predictable from start to finish. The plot lacked any real depth or originality, and the characters were one-dimensional, making it hard to care about their fates. Every twist was telegraphed so far in advance that it felt like the writers weren't even trying.

What could have been an emotional and gripping story was instead dragged out with repetitive dialogue and unnecessary scenes that added nothing to the narrative. It felt like the show was just filling time rather than delivering meaningful content.

If you're looking for a compelling drama, look elsewhere. Missing You was a complete waste of time.

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.

Decent enough Harlan Coben thriller drama set in Manchester and surrounding countryside with a well known and familiar cast, weaving intertwined plot themes, it's well paced and improbable fun, entertaining enough to keep you glued in but definitely a bit far fetched in places - some excellent names in there and well acted but gritty believable realism it ain't. Perhaps that's not the point anyway and if you can turn a blind eye to the very visible plot holes and rather unlikely criminal and police prodecural situations then it's width one's time. But it's a fast food style criminal thriller - enjoyable but ultimately unsatisfying, not a gourmet offering you might be hoping for.
