Missing You

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!

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.

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.

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 really don't understand all the bad reviews. I'm a fan of the author and I've read most of his work. I don't remember names of books as I read too much so I went into this not knowing the story even though I knew I had read it. It didn't take long before I remembered, but had forgotten enough to enjoy it all over again. And since I watched it all in one sitting, I think I can say it was enjoyable. It's not Oscar worthy, but still an entertaining show. I thought the main actress did a really good job and there were plenty of others that I felt were good as well. There's a lot of angst involved but was justified. Some twists as well. Take a chance on this one if you enjoy police procedurals with a female detective. It's really not a bad effort as so many reviews are saying. I rated it 7 which means I thought it was pretty good.
