Chasing Shadows

I'm so sad that this is only one season long! It was refreshingly different than the normal DI series.

Interesting premise, fine performances. I have no idea why ITV cancelled this series after only 4 episodes, and on a cliffhanger, at that. The user ratings for this are all between 7 and 8. The show never missed a beat, was entirely plausible and the audience became invested in the characters, which made the last, unresolved, missing person especially heartbreaking. This was a missed opportunity ITV. I give this series an 8 (great) out of 10. {Police Procedural with a twist}. Just a side note for Whovians, two of the principal players were Mickey Smith (2005-2010) and River Song (2008-2017).

I really enjoyed this series it was interesting and fast without being mindless and the acting was great so where is series 2 and what happened to the housekeeper??

Detective Sergeant Stone is a complex figure, after upsetting the powers that be, he is moved off to The Missing Person's unit, where civilian colleague Ruth awaits.

What a shirt sighted decision by ITV to axe this after just one series. It is compelling viewing, great writing, intelligent cases, and genuinely terrific performances. We were left with a terrific story to tell.

Stone is a fascinating character, from his walk to his blunt honesty. Ruth is equally interesting, sweet, sharp, with a mean punch.

I wonder if this perhaps inspired Unforgotten, it has a similar vibe to it.

It deserved better, 9/10.

I like Alex (Dr. Who) a lot, and the lead Reece, I warmed up to quickly. and Clark, the only Missing Person's Detective to relate to Reece/Sean. I don't know why the PD would be so against Sean even if he is an oddball bec. he solves crimes and catches serial killers (his specialty). He thinks there isn't enough communication between missing persons and homicide, And winds up as a demotion in Missing persons. Ruth/Alex is able to relate to him. and so he finds a home. A viewer complained there isn't enough depth of character. I disagree. that some of the police methods were questionable. yes but that is always the case with these dramas. another premise with a detective with a problem, here it's autism, Ashberger, as he is very smart and skilled. so yes, there are holes in the plot- show me 1 series without flaws. sometimes, the police work is sketchy. they left #4 with a big, to be solved next crime, but after 5 years, I have to expect no more.
