Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
missypowers I read these reviews a few days ago but today, they went right out of my head when I chose to add this series to my Amazon Prime viewing. The acting was great but the story became more and more convoluted and confusing as each possible answer to the mystery was rejected. It is not a spoiler to tell you that, unless they have another season int he works (unlikely as this series is from 2014) you will be left hanging. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.
steven-222 Started watching, not knowing how many episodes there would be. First episode very promising, with a hide-the-plot structure that lets us know that SOMETHING happened on day one, and we will get teasing flashbacks slowing filling this in as the story progresses. By episode three it becomes clear that this series could go on indefinitely, showing how various people far and wide were affected by the girl's disappearance. Hmmm, I think, I hope this is not one of those 10-episode series, because this could become rather repetitive, just getting teased with a tiny new detail each week while the story rambles near and far. Then comes episode four, which appeared to be the last one. Hmmm, after setting up a recurring story machine, now they are cutting it short. Ah well, at least we'll see what happened to Amber. But no, the story simply ends, with no resolution at all. Now I realize this is how things often go in life--we get no answer--but this is a story, and stories have a beginning, middle, and end. (Please read your Aristotle, script-writers.) So while Amber pretends to imitate life, it does so with all the trappings of a certain genre of storytelling, and disappoints either as philosophical discourse (it's way too shallow for that) and as TV thriller (it's a total bust). Once again, I have let the Beeb waste 4 hours of my life. I'm just thankful the series was not longer.
groovymack2005 I have to say the acting was brilliant and great idea for a show but it dragged on far to long going back and forth to Day 1 or Day 48 etc.. 4 nights of watching!!! It should have been edited down to a 2hr show " with an ending"!!!! I mean WTF??? The disappointment last night with the last episode.. Sorry RTE but it wasn't cool just really annoying.... I know some people will argue that this is what happens in real life but this is meant be a show??? entertainment on the telly.. We see enough depressing stuff on the news or in the newspapers every day of the week.. If I wanted to watch something like that I'd watch a documentary or PRIMETIME!! Enough said.. RTE ye need to do better We paying huge money through TV license which is a joke as I hardly ever watch RTE!!
fordpurdy Excellent TV series about a girl gone missing. Unfortunately, the fourth episode left us hanging worse than most season finales. I hope there will be a second season so the story has some closure. If they wait too long to add episodes the interest in following it will be long gone. This is as good a time as any for me to comment about TV series that go on endlessly...I encourage producers to do seasonal series that start and end in same season. Worse season break was Breaking Bad, which cut the final season in half and left us waiting nearly a year for the final half of the last season. I loved that show but waiting for the final half of the last season has taken a lot of the enjoyment out of it and I've almost completely lost all interest.
