Featured reviews
This series is a modern style counter to the brilliant classic show missing without a trace.
The lead actress is wonderful here. Real and believable, tragic background and a zealous commitment. She's batman. Overall it's cute and kitschy. They have to include elements of trauma,The show is on citytv so struggle to see why so many reviews are negative. This is not Scorsese. Anyhow excited to see more. Only watched the first 4 episodes so far. But it's promising with hinted overall season plot being suitably big. It is a light watch, no heavy contemplative viewing attention required. Decent pacing episodic feel good content.

I love the concept of this series, but the acting is just awful!! Like, embarrassingly amateur and predictable. I never once forgot I was watching actors at work, each performance straining to convince; which meant none were very believable. Super stereotypical villains and heroes, which was irritating after awhile- it's not so easy to spot who is who is real life, folks. It's would be nice if it was, but a certain appearance doesn't indicate "good" or "bad". I really tried and I wanted so much to like this show, but I truly cannot keep watching. Maybe it would be fine tucked into the Lifetime movie library, or if Hallmark has a drama category?
It's a pretty ridiculous show, and probably isn't realistic at all. But it's incredibly entertaining and has a good message. There's plot twists, mysteries, and honestly some episodes have me on the edge of my seat. It's a pretty simple episode structure, but the character backstories and traumas make the show for sure. But at its core, it is a found family feel-good show that is about working through trauma and mental health. Margaret's storyline is maybe the saddest, and it's the most believable and best acted. And Gabi's relationship with Sir is just so compelling, it really makes the show. Who knew Zack Morris would make such a convincing kidnapper?
Regardless, this is a show I tune in every week for. It has literally everything.

I'm hooked on the Sir storyline but that is completely because of Sir and MPG's portrayal of him. He is a morbidly fascinating character. Unfortunately, he's kind of the only one in the entire show.
Years ago I read a book where the main character was so lovable and such an amazing person... because the author kept shoving that down my throat. Nothing the character actually said or did showed these things. I feel like that same person is writing this show.
I'm struggling to understand how Gabi is so successful and loved. I find her character very off-putting and not because she's a strong, independent boss lady. I just don't find her to be loving and real as everyone portrays her to be.
This show is filled with broken people and that formulaically can work, but it needs a strong and caring leader. While the writers keep telling us that Gabi is that person, I don't see it.
Something just isn't quite right here.
I'm going to keep watching because I want to see where the Sir storyline goes. I know he's the Bad Guy, but he's by far the only real reason I'm tuning in.

The lead actress is the low point of this show. I don't care whatsoever about her character and I should. The young lady who plays her in flashbacks is more compelling. Having said that, I think the show is good and the rest of the cast does a great job pulling you into their story. I don't know how long this show will last but I am invested in their stories. I really like seeing Mark Paul in this role. Creepy. Doesn't think he's the bad guy. Well done. I'm sorry but they need a better actress to play the lead or kill her off and let someone else take it. She's too Vivica A Fox and that's not a compliment.
