Now, I tend to agree with those reviewers who says this is a good show. It offers a fresh take on a 'who-took-my-child' mystery, and most acting is quite good.
However, I can't help feeling that the personal trauma of the main character has very little to do with her motivations, and the frequent flashbacks are an irritating distraction. I presume that the director wishes to convey that her past experiences drive her to keep pushing forward, but that is not clear. We only see her pain, and then... the matter of the pedophile ring is addressed in a slopshod manner. Suddenly all references to the video, her flashbacks, all gone? Honestly, all this thing about her rape could have been edited out, and it world not have affected the story. In fact, it would probably have improved the pace.
