Baptiste

My score is 7 for the first series and 1 for the second.

Poor Tchéky Karyo. A superb actor, charming, charismatic and oh so watchable. But even his talent could not save the pigs ear of a second series. Unlike the first series the story line of the second was just awful. The screen son's acting appalling. The writers should never work again after churning out this drivel of a script.

I wanted to stop watching halfway through episode 5/6 but had come so far I may as well finish.

It's not up to me to tell you not to bother. It's up to you to find that out for yourself. You have been warned.

I loved both series "Missing". Excellently written plot with somone dissapearing at its core. But there is so much more to it always, not to mention new beautiful european filming locations. I hope these series will hold up to the promissing new start.

Baptiste is entertaining but the storyline is not convincing enough. As a dutch national I was exited that it is set in Amsterdam where i have worked for three years. But why have belgian actors playing the Dutch police? If you don't speak Dutch than you wont notice, but a belgian accent for dutch police officers in the city of Amsterdam is kind a funny. We have actors in Holland you know :-)

I have yet to see season 2, mostly because I felt it ended well in season 1. He's an old man, retired, and it was a suspenseful case with all the moving pieces.

Perhaps it's a little slow to begin with but there are many twists and turns and every episode leaves you with a cliffhanger. The acting is high quality and the story is gripping. Give it a go and make your own mind up.
