The Missing

[Mick Mac]

Brilliant first episode.

My wife didn't agree.

[????]

Good luck with watching the 2nd one

[ed_pete]

Brilliant no - contrived yes. I was very disappointed that plot relied on (a) the owner of the charity shop who kept a detailed inventory of every item that that been brought in when and by whom and (b) that the police just happened to find a photo with of the scarf wearers car driver with the license plate clearly visible.

ED Pete - You should meet my wife.

Come on - it was brilliant.

[Mick Mac]

Still really enjoying this. Excellent episode tonight. The Ken Stott character is a devious little bugger.

[steveo]

Ken Stott is Rebus. End of

[TillieTrotter]

I'm really enjoying it :-)

[edcam]

That "dream sequence" was utter rubbish. Undermined what was turning out to be a good show.

You watching it out in the kitchen by yourself Mick?

[Mick Mac]

My wife likes Jimmy Nesbitt, or any man from Northern Ireland maybe, so she is watching him and I am watching the programme.

Is your wife a street artist in Montmartre ? What was that about ? And why did the police let him off GBH ? More plot holes than your average teabag. a

And sooooooo slooooooow.

[Mick Mac]

Ah you are still watching it EP.

The biggest plot hole was when he read the messages on the guys phone, got the proof of the connection to the other paedophile and beat him up only to leave the phone on the ground within reach of the beaten up chap so he could pick up said phone and call Garrett to warn him Nesbitt was coming.

That was a bit of a plot hole but EP if you spend your time focussing on plot holes when you should be enjoying something then maybe you are actuary an auditor and better off sticking with the day job.

I dunno, he's hardly a hardened criminal, so that's all vaguely plausible, and it was his number he found, again, can't see why not.

The guilt is like a cancer story retold was a bit contrived I'll grant you.

I guess the aritst pick up was there to paint the french as a bunch with loose morals and gitanes permanently stuck to lower lip. I jest, probably something about how his life is unhinged, he walks away from a young beautiful woman or something....

We're still very much enjoying it though, am liking the pace and the drip feed, even the slightly daft twist at the end of the episode, but only because i'd worked it out after the 'regrets' comment and got to feel all smug ;)

[Mick Mac]

You're a genius EL Pibe. I have said it before....

[ed_pete]

Mick Mac - I've worked it out - you are Jimmy Nesbitt.
