    Good - but make sure you're good at languages

    Watching on Netflix. Heartbreaking to see those who are the 'other' victims, but it is important their voices are heard

    However, episode 9 based in France and no subtitles. I'm sure the police officer is very expansive but I have no idea!

    Really good!

    Very good English series, with many details, it is well documented from beginning to end of each disappearance case. The first season is of better quality in my opinion. I think it's because the 2nd season has more cases of young children, some cases got on my nerves, and the social services and their negligence, that's how it's everywhere, so let's not blame the parents!!! Please!!!

    In most episodes there are many unexpected things that will leave you speechless, how cruel the human race is, the worst without a doubt.

    Most of the cases are very well investigated and you will like some cases more than others, it is strong and if you like exciting and well-told crime and police investigations, don't miss it!

    Great content, silly poses!

    I enjoy this programme and watching the stories unfold. They are often tragic, sad and disturbing.

    It's a good show, but the ridiculous poses the people are made to do ruin it. They are forced to look away from the camera and then slowly look up or gaze wistfully out of a window. It's so cringey and put on, it actually ruins the interviews and has made me laugh out loud a few times. I would give it a solid 9/10 if it wasn't for this. It's very off putting.

    Also, it can be a bit repetitive when the story is being told and they recap a bit too often to pad it out.

    My heart goes out to the poor families whose stories are being told.

    Informative, well paced and evokative

    This isn't like your average neflix drawn out, boring docuseries. By that I mean that it's actually good! The cases are obviously tragic and would be enough by themselves to make even the most stoic true crime fan a little emotional, but the interviews with the parents and family were very real and moving. It's not overblown or overly dramatic and quite respectful which I liked.

    I'm only a few episodes in btw, but I probably will watch the whole thing in a few days. When Missing Turns to Murder is a refreshingly concise production and hopefully Netflix will consider the positive reviews and try to match this kind of quality in future.

    Very well done documentary series

    While the true stories are heartbreaking they need to be told. If it helps just one person see dangers sooner it's accomplished something huge. Plus I love me some Shaun Dooley!! I could listen to him read a dictionary. I didn't realize he narrated as well as acted. Now that I fangirled over Shaun let me tell you the episode about Joanna Simpson is so heartbreaking. Her family especially her children went through so much hell. I'm American and I will say the British justice system hands out some really soft sentences for such horrendous crimes. The American justice system's broke as well there are folks in jail that do not deserve to be there. But watch this series if you like true crime because it delivers on every note PLUS SHAUN DOOLEY !!
