The Missing Review

The 6th episode of The Missing’s 2nd season was excellent. The acting really shined this episode. Lia Williams, Keeley Hawes, and Tcheky Karyo were incredible. Even David Morrissey was great during a few of the scenes, especially during the crash scene with Matthew. Julien has been forced to overcome two obstacles, his health and the police. Will Gemma ever be able to tell Sam about her true feelings? At times, Sam seems like he refuses to acknowledge the truth. Is he hiding something or is it simply guilt?

What will Nadia Herz tells Julien? Will she lead him to Adam Gettrick? Is Alice at the cabin or is it Sophie? Is she still alive? The Missing is truly a bundle of unanswered questions. A great episode. An 8 out of 10 is deserved. Catch up with previous recaps of The Missing right now.
