Missing

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.

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.

Poor Pauline Quirk having to work with this lot. Scripting was unnatural and awkward, the guy from The Bill (Wingett) needed to tone his overacting down about 60%, I had trouble remembering they were supposed to be police officers - the younger cast members were like work experience students. Just awful.

Boring stories. No suspense, but over acted and " grouchy" characters. No excitement and their laws, they cannot DO ANYTHING! The officers get killed and run over in British police shows, they hold up their hands and people are suppose to stop! Really!

The Sargeant is so bland and has no acting skills. She just goes off the handle at friends, and moons her way with the family suspects.

Murder is 10 years, no wonder they have so many there! Too much blather about their own family. It is so boring. Family is not kidnapped or killed by serial killer, just people who cry about family who leaves because they don't get along! Boring, waste of my time.

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.
