The Disappearance Review

The Disappearance isn’t the best show I have ever watched, but it is intriguing nevertheless. In fact, it is good most of the time. The mystery is excellent and I feel the urge to find out what happens next after each episode. Some of the behavior exhibited by the characters is a little strange, but that can be overlooked. I enjoyed this episode much more than the previous. So, Anthony was indeed in Stephen Price’s house. Price is definitely a nut ball.

Did he really have something to do with Anthony’s disappearance? It seems a little too convenient. I am convinced that the writers will go with something less predictable. I could be wrong though. Can’t wait to find out. This episode scores a 7.5 out of 10. Catch up with past recaps of The Disappearance now!
