While there are some aspects of this show that annoy me like the weak writing only held up to a good standard by some sound veteran acting and some fresh new faces. The script is weak at times, for example raising some fascinating issues but not following through to explore them with depth. In short, a little superficial about issues that are not at all shallow such as the response of young people to kidnapping trauma and physical and sexual abuse.
The relationship issues are also appropriately complex but just need a little more follow through. Every week there is a different and gripping kidnapping story and they are all fun and satisfying.
The underlying story of their son's kidnapping is really fresh and unique and I am know up to episode 8 and enjoying the twisty turny journey as we discover fragments of the truth about Keith but are left itching for more. This is a somewhat light watch but by no means without its merits and I am enjoying many of the different and unique side characters. Only wish I could binge the rest of the season NOW.
