Good concept, poorly executed.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

While sick I had time to binge both seasons, which is the best way to address episodic cliff-hangers. The series reminds me of The Killing, at least the first 'good' season which aired in the US. No huge actors, but great acting by all.As a parent it underscores a fear all parents have, and helps reinforce our mild paranoia where our kids are involved.I had one question nagging me from season 2, when Julian is looking at tapes to try and find out how Sophie had spent the unaccounted 3 hours when she went missing from 'home'. She went and bought petrol, and she went and bought flowers to put on the Henry Reed's grave. But no explanation of why she would expend time putting flowers on the grave of someone she met briefly one evening when she was feverishly ill, who quickly diagnosed a burst appendix but then did not further help or cure her. And it doesn't make sense that Adam Gettrick wanted to place flowers on Henry Reed's grave or he would have done it himself, which would have been much safer. Seems like a loose end...I loved the final scene of season 2, when Julian is counting backwards waiting to fall asleep for surgery, and the doctors note his strong constitution, and he stops counting at '3'. Is this a hint that a season 3 is a possibility? One hopes so...

Or really like/find irritating.LIKE: Acting, setting, direction, writing, help with my French.DISLIKE: Writing.I like so much about this - but the police are such idiots I CANNOT believe they are so stupid and incompetent in France. They get an address for the scarf and in that basement there is the EXACT drawing that boy makes... the reactions of the police - the way they keep saying "no concrete evidence" - has me almost yelling at my television. BOTH of those things absolutely ARE concrete evidence. The way they closed the case so early? Don't they keep them open for decades in France? Surely, they do. And such an issue reopening it? C'mon!The mother agreeing with the police on those points is absolutely absurd. NO loving mother would act that way.Those things, which are so basic to the plot, are driving me nuts. And I CAN'T talk about it on the message boards because IMDb took them away from us! Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!!! Would LOVE to discuss these things with others.Grumble... grumble... grumble... I'm going to keep watching, but I am quite irritated by these things.

Season 1 was excellent, but Season 2 blows it away. The suspenseful story line, coupled with great acting and direction, makes this eight episode season possibly the best thing I've ever seen on my television. If you haven't seen this, I recommend you go right to Season 2 as the only connection between that and Season 1 is the character Julien Baptiste.

Simply terrific,James Nesbitt fascinated me, extremely mature and faithful acting, he is the lead and the same applies for the cast. I loved the Hitchcockian suspense, 'he Shakespearian drama! the cinematography is very smart ²nd beautiful! what I loved the most was how the director focused on the body language a lot and obviously! Nice mature dialogue! Shattered conveying sound track. I love this show simply it's a reference for me! I just didn't buy some tiny details like *might be spoiler* if someone is going to kill himself you could be faster with a gun n shoot on the leg etc! overall perfect work, all talking about season 1.
