When Missing Turns to Murder

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.

This show will make you binge watch it until it's over. There may be some scary or triggering episodes so do keep that in mind when choosing to watch the show.

The only negative side of the series: Episode 9 has no subtitles when the French police is talking. He talks quite a lot and it would be great to know what is he saying. I tried turning on subtitles but it doesn't change a thing. There is no option to get it translated whilst watching the episode either. As episode 9 takes place in France and half of this episode includes French police members, so half the story won't be understood.

After watching numerous episodes, I see how troubled the majority of the parents are and are not teaching their kids correct life skills. It's their responsibility to provide for their children and it appears the majority of them are on governmental assistance. Very sad to watch these. I am impressed with the detectives and their ability to solve these cases. Why are these killers not given more time in prison. They are going to get out and kill again. These cycles just seem to repeat over and over again. I'm hopeful that the UK can get on top of this and give longer sentences to the convicted killers.

I have tried multiple similar shows recently and, as a victim of past coercive and abusive relationships I have struggled with how misleading and disrespectful the shows can be. To the point of damaging for those who may know someone in an at risk relationship.

Too often the victim is blamed or questioned for not leaving sooner. An incredibly offensive question when you truly understand how these 'relationships' function.

I have just watched episode 3. I don't want to add spoilers but I would say thank you to the family of Natalie, the professionals involved and the show creators. This was well done. My heart goes out to all experiencing or witnessing this behaviour. Don't just tell them to leave. Get professional support. It could save their life.

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!
