This series is a modern style counter to the brilliant classic show missing without a trace.
The lead actress is wonderful here. Real and believable, tragic background and a zealous commitment. She's batman. Overall it's cute and kitschy. They have to include elements of trauma,The show is on citytv so struggle to see why so many reviews are negative. This is not Scorsese. Anyhow excited to see more. Only watched the first 4 episodes so far. But it's promising with hinted overall season plot being suitably big. It is a light watch, no heavy contemplative viewing attention required. Decent pacing episodic feel good content.

It's a pretty ridiculous show, and probably isn't realistic at all. But it's incredibly entertaining and has a good message. There's plot twists, mysteries, and honestly some episodes have me on the edge of my seat. It's a pretty simple episode structure, but the character backstories and traumas make the show for sure. But at its core, it is a found family feel-good show that is about working through trauma and mental health. Margaret's storyline is maybe the saddest, and it's the most believable and best acted. And Gabi's relationship with Sir is just so compelling, it really makes the show. Who knew Zack Morris would make such a convincing kidnapper?
Regardless, this is a show I tune in every week for. It has literally everything.

Since I've been home sick the last several days I figured l would check this one out. Not gonna lie, this one... I really want to love it but there's something off about the present day lead character. Like you just can't connect with her, but the past version of her you instantly connect with, maybe because of the vulnerability the past version of her shows. It's like the present day version is trying to hard. All of the other cast is fantastic. Plots for the episodes are overdramatic to where it feels forced. Between that and the fact that it drives me crazy that they keep calling it DCPD when it is, in fact, MPD (Metropolitan Police Department), 6 out of 10 is th best I got. Hoping season 2 is better.
I thought the promos looked interesting! However, it was so absurd, I could barely make it through 2 episodes! The whole premise is ridiculous, the acting is atrocious & the plot is way beyond belief! You made a big mistake with this one NBC! Ugh! The lead actress is over the top with her tough broad persona which is actually laughable! The rest of the cast isn't much better! The lead actress keeps this bad guy prisoner and he's supposed to be helping her in her quest to find missing people! Why would he help her? Makes absolutely no sense! My 10 year old granddaughter could write a more plausible script!
I love the concept of this series, but the acting is just awful!! Like, embarrassingly amateur and predictable. I never once forgot I was watching actors at work, each performance straining to convince; which meant none were very believable. Super stereotypical villains and heroes, which was irritating after awhile- it's not so easy to spot who is who is real life, folks. It's would be nice if it was, but a certain appearance doesn't indicate "good" or "bad". I really tried and I wanted so much to like this show, but I truly cannot keep watching. Maybe it would be fine tucked into the Lifetime movie library, or if Hallmark has a drama category?
