Anyone else watching this ?

Really really enjoyed the second version of the Missing, and this is proving to be equally as watchable.

Great character, and clever plotlines - like good telly should be !

I've been watching and enjoying it. I'm sure there was another thread on it, but I can't find it.

There was another thread on this. I started it. My stuff does seem to vanish from here.
Brilliant start to the series and it just gets better.

It's all piecing together now. You certainly need to concentrate on it (no sitting half watching TV, half browsing PH).

Agreed. Believeable, gripping, well scripted and acted and with some really good twists. And now it has the lovely Jessica Raine in it, perfect!

It made me smile watching last night.
Did anyone else notice that when TH opened the door in the hotel (he is a marked man and it could be anyone out there) he took a deep breath and threw the door open.
There was a spyhole but he is obviously too short to look through it without standing on a box.
Apologies for being shortist.

Hotting up now, left on a very good cliff hanger now. Kinda knew TH was a wrong 'un from day one I can see him ending up with a chainsawed head.

I think the skill of the narrative so far is that we still aren't sure if he is a baddie or not. I reckon it'll keep pivoting back and forward until the climax.

If I were in a dodgy situation and a car deliberately blocked me, the last thing I'd do would be get out to talk to the driver.

Tom Holland's plan relied on this one voluntary action. Very weak.

If Baptiste was dumb to get out of his car with a million euros in the boot, then Natalie’s father was certifiable for leaving that same amount in the boot of his car, overnight, outside the house in the wilds where he took his grandson, no wonder it was stolen.

Quick point, I thought the old fella was Natalie's druggies other half dad? Makes more sense he was Natalie's dad

I thought both series of 'The Missing' were excellent but I have to say I'm struggling a little with this.

Tom Holland is a good actor but I don't like the way his character is written

The woman out of Call the Midwife is awful.

Just finding it a little too drawn out and predictable, something that could not be said of The Missing.

And if you were going to get out of the car (which you wouldn't) you'd leave the keys for the bloke who's already double crossed you and pinched them before to look for the girls location on your sat nav !!

As others have said, not a patch on the previous stories.
