Wondering if I should give it a watch. Has anyone seen this? Recommendations? It looks like two seasons so far - does anyone know if this is an anthology series, or are the two seasons connected? TIA

First season was very good.

I resisted watching for a while b/c of the subject matter (missing child), but the way the story is structured (alternating past and present) allows you to detach from the parents' suffering b/c you know the outcome.

Definitely worth a watch if you like well crafted crime drama.

Both seasons are fricking awesome. Binged them both in a week.

This is kind of a hard question to answer without giving slight spoilers. But, it's a great show. Should definitely check it out if you are interested in the genre.

is this show on Netflix like some of the other BBC crime shows? if not, I would imagine that it is on Kodi/Exodus?

to those of you who've watched the show, how would you compare it to shows like Luther, Marcella, and The Killing?

I do, but they are both grown.

I haven't watched season 2, but season 1 was:

More of an emotional drama than Luther. I'd call Luther more a psychological thriller.

Much better than The Killing, which just meandered around from one dead end to another for two seasons.

I haven't seen Marcella.

It is probably more similar to Broadchurch. Or maybe 5 Days (don't recall seeing that mentioned around here).

Not really. One major character appears in both seasons, but the stories are individual ones. I actually watched the 2nd season 1st.

Yep. Most underrated show on TV. The acting and writing is amazing. Def worth a watch.
