Kidnapped

Bit slow in parts but eye opening as this was the first I'd heard of this story.......... I thought the police were a little harsh with Chloe when she first spoke to them, they didn't seem to realise or have any idea what she might have been through and gave the impression that she was the guilty party when it was her who had been kidnapped and been through hell Would recommend a watch and the half hour episodes were about the right length. I think this programme also highlights the dangers faced by young girls alone on the continent and the dangers of people smuggling.

More precautions should be taken.

I have never seen such bland , atrocious acting . The Chloe character is utterly blank and empty and the whole thing is sooo dull.

I gave up. If actors can't be bothered to act I can't be bothered to watch.

I honestly don't care at the end about any of the people . The dark gloomy background and dark filming didn't help..

I've got nothing else to say and they still make me add more and more words !!

How many times can I say - this is boring and dull . Watch at your peril And how can they stretch it out too so many episodes? I feel it could have all been told in half an hour at the most !

Dull.

I had never heard of Chloe Ayling nor the event that this docudrama focused on.

So for me it was completely messed up by focusing on the aftermath at the beginning of the first episode.

Any sense of drama or interest was lost as the reenactment of the kidnapping unfolded over subsequent episodes.

As the outcome had already been revealed it was just a case of waiting for the kidnap to play out as we knew nothing would happen to her while being held to ransom. As a result it was drawn out and tedious.

It would have had far more impact if the drama had been played out in chronological order and then the attention from the gutter press/media/social media would have had far more impact as a viewing experience.

With regards to the attention, Chloe Ayling was a victim of her own personality. She took full advantage of her abduction to raise her profile as a model and dressed accordingly when interviewed on TV, which is to say inappropriately for someone who wants to be taken seriously.

I suppose there is not much a writer can do when the storyline is about a dull girl locked in an isolated farmhouse with a guy. Both speaking in monotone voices with expressionless faces. The only character showing any emotion and animation in an all too brief appearance was Robert Glenister as Piers Morgan. I am writing this as I watch episode 2 with the intention of not watching any more. The background music is not that good either. To be honest I found myself not caring one way or another if this girl is released or not and I feel bad about that because it claims to be based on a true story.

An interesting dissection of how a young lady's kidnap was surrounded by rumour and accusations. One woman's strength and determination to stay alive and then become financially independent is attacked by the media and keyboard warriors. This is a miniseries which tracks the days leading up to her abduction, the ordeal itself and the turmoil that ensured through the court case and the attacks on Chloe's personality and the authenticity of her account of her ordeal. A great true story well told, the casting is brilliant, each episode is well presented and leads with the facts and Chloe's unwavering determination to tell the truth. Recommended for True Crime fans.
