    Your eyes are in for a treat, and Judd grows on you.

    It may not be groundbreaking, but for Judd fans, Missing isn't the worst way to lose an hour.

    As drama it has a few holes and clearly a lot of backstory that will unspool at its own pace....But the narrative is crisp, fast and easy to follow.

    So while the one-liners are sub-CSI: Miami ("Time to upgrade," quips Becca as she overrides a security system; "Oh, no," she monotones upon discovering a corpse), the cinematography and fight choreography serve to at least temporarily keep both the audience and cast breathless.

  1. This is extremely entertaining televsion. Does it have moments of silly dialog and unrealistic situations? Yes, absolutely. But is it a true 'page turner' with a compelling plot that will keep you wanting more....YES. I understand why some of the critics haven't given Missing great reviews, but I think that if viewers give it a chance, they will get addicted. I hope more people find this show...but definitely start from episode 1. Expand
  2. Beautiful show with lots of potential with skillful writing I see it going over 5 seasons its. Ashley Judd is so believable in her role as Mama Bourne. I loved it the sets were great as well Expand

    A high budget travelogue this show continues to keep me interested! I hope the writers can keep up the suspenseful twists and turns! The acting is competent. Expand
  4. One of the worst espionage intrigue series I can remember seeing. Although the locations are attractive, the writing and scene setups are abysmal. Hard to believe Ashley Judd signed on to this dog. How could she have not seen it for what it was after reading a script or two? Expand
