Tony’s cries of “Olly” become more and more desperate, and lost among the jubilation of a nation celebrating great sporting triumph. Having already seen the whole series in UK I can honestly say that The Missing is one of the best British dramas in years. I thoroughly enjoyed season 1 and after just the first episode of season 2 I am immediately pulled back in. It’s also a thriller, about a hunt and an investigation, by the police initially, then by a father, with the help of a retired French detective. In this season, the show teases the audience with portentous foreshadowing about everything that happened to Alice between the time she was kidnapped to her return home, even if the events turn out to be benign; this feels slightly manipulative, considering the show has the capacity for much more compassionate work.

In 2003, Alice, the daughter of Sam (David Morrissey) and Gemma Webster (Keeley Hawes) went missing. Then, her story spools out with excruciating detail in her almost affectless tone. In the middle are a lot of big spaces – not just to do with Olly and the investigation, but also with relationship breakdowns, and new relationships, and smears., and all the rest of the crap that accompanies something like this. Season 2 Review: The Missing is one compelling piece of work, full of what the anguish of having an abducted child does to a family over the years. A West Wing Special to Benefit When We All Vote. And quite a lot of the right side has been done, though not one very important bit (but perhaps, as with so many real cases of disappearances, that part will never be completed, those pieces too are missing). The Missing is harrowing, absorbing, and difficult to stop watching; in its multifaceted storytelling about one toxic case in a small town, it offers a wide-ranging, intimate, and mercilessly honest view of human tragedy. It’s an engaging mystery full of twists and turns that may not make complete sense when all put together, but moves quickly enough that you don’t care as it’s unfolding.

In some ways, this is consistent with the first season of the Starz/BBC anthology series, which also told the story of an abducted child and the subsequent investigation. An earlier version referred to a bar full of people watching France playing Brazil in the World Cup final. I love watching Baptiste's every motivation. Luckily for most viewers the twists come hard and fast enough to speed right past our critical brain. The 'problem' of the first was that it focused too much on the parents of the missing child and their relationship while the 2nd season took the best thing from the previous (the investigator Baptiste) and put the focus. “So he hit me,” she says, with no expression on her face, as the details spill out of her, “and that was the first time that he raped me.”. At least Francis realises this; I think they’re actually pretty media savvy. 11 years later, a woman found wandering the streets of Germany claims to be Alice Webster (Abigail Hardingham) and French detective Julien Baptiste (Tchéky Karyo) comes out of retirement when he hears she may hold information on another missing girl.
With Tchéky Karyo, Anastasia Hille, David Morrissey, Keeley Hawes. If you like great writing and acting then you'll like this, it's that simple. The finale of the first season was deemed by some viewers to be a twist too far, and though that is not necessarily the case here, “The Missing” is more about the audience’s journey of being hooked than it is about the ending’s takeaway. If you like great writing and acting then you'll like this, it's that simple. But unlike the first installment of “The Missing,” the second season mostly dispenses with the circumstances of her abduction. Save David Morrissey as Sam in 'The Missing' Michael Hogan; 26 October 2016 • 10:00pm. The Missing is a mystery that affects a family as well as community. In a season short on promising shows, this one should be at the top of your list.

Is the BBC1 drama The Missing set to return for second series? Mostly though, certainly for anyone with children, it’s hard - impossible - not to imagine it happening to you.

Great performances all round with Keeley Hawes and David Morrisey as good as ever but it's Tcheky Karyo that steals the show as (the now iconic) Baptiste in a performance that's surely in line for many awards. A sighting of Oliver that turns out not to be him but another little boy. © 2020 Guardian News & Media Limited or its affiliated companies. The Missing. What is it? It was further amended on 30 October 2014 to correct the year of Olly’s disappearance; the earlier version said 1998.

This eight-part thriller is not mawkish, or overly sentimental; just very human, and very very sad. I thoroughly enjoyed season 1 and after just the first episode of season 2 I am immediately pulled back in.
