Created by novelist Harlan Coben - who against trend and very sensibly wanted all the answers in Season 1, like a novel - and produced by Netflix and Canal+, this eight parter set in the UK stars Michael C Hall as a man whose daughter goes missing. It's written by Danny Brocklehurst, Mick Ford etc. Actually it does feel a bit like a novel, with plenty of plot rushing at you and a good momentum, but a slightly questionable story (she's next door??) and outcome. Also the most upsetting bit - Warren's stabbing - is completely unconnected to anything, not avenged, and Warren seems to recover remarkably quickly.
Cast: Amanda Abbington and Hannah Arterton investigating, Amy James-Kelly as the missing girl, Marc Warren, Audrey Fleurot, Amy-Leigh Hickman (good as scheming daughter), Nigel Lindsay, Emmett J Scanlan, Liala Rouass, Louis Greatorex.
There are one or two flashes of welcome humour. "Don't let anyone in. Except us, obviously."
There's also some composition that's way to the edge of the Panavision frame, like Pawel Pawlikowski had made it.
