BingeNext's take

If you’re into crime dramas that really pull you in emotionally, The Missing is a series you’ll want to check out. It’s a gripping thriller that explores the impact of a child’s abduction not just on the family but on the whole community, and it’s told across two different time frames which keeps you guessing. With two seasons and 16 episodes, each just under an hour, it’s a solid commitment but worth it for the way it builds tension and drama. The cast includes some familiar faces like James Nesbitt and Keeley Hawes, who bring a lot of depth to their roles. If you like shows that mix mystery with emotional storytelling, similar to Law & Order: Special Victims Unit or The Practice, this one will feel right up your alley. Watching it feels intense and thoughtful, perfect for when you want a crime series that’s about more than just the case.
