Watched the first 2 episodes last night- don’t think I’ll continue it. Acting was atrocious down to the person. No one stood out as even a serviceable actor.

Started it a couple nights ago. Seemed like an interesting plot. Got halfway through the second episode and sort of lost interest. Prob won’t continue.

It would help if the chick was hotter I guess and Vinny Chase had a bigger role.

I agree. The chick and her ridiculous haircut are awful

Need more Vinny

had this on as background noise throughout the week

Treading lightly spoiler wise, but the last episode is absolutely awful

The acting throughout is brutal.

I liked it for what it was. An airplane binge watch. I downloaded and watched it on a trip last week to Cali.

I enjoyed the storyline with all the twists and the leading you in one direction and then changing it so quickly.

Horrible acting from the detective.

I cannot detect horrible acting. Good for me I guess.

Sounds like this is one I should use for background noise?

It was extremely ok, definitely didn't see the "who dun it" twist at the end

He’s such an aggressively bad actor

Well yeah, isn't it starring Adrian Grenier?

I love Entourage and Vinny Chase, but he's just a handsome dude and a bad actor.

Not sure where y’all are getting the bad acting. I must have a bad radar like someone else said.

So far I’ve been intrigued. I’ll continue to watch after 2 episodes

I actually ended up watching this. AG was not terrible but his role is not huge. There was some good acting and some bad acting. One person in particular was absolutely awful.

Lots of twists and turns, did not see the ending coming at all. My early prediction ended up being the last psych out, so close.

Resurrecting this post because I had read the negatives and decided to watch it anyway. The episodes just felt so long. It could be the acting or the story covering various angles. In the end, it was enjoyable. I'm one of those that feels like 80% of netflix and amazon are just crap that I can't even get past 1 episode.

Sometimes I had to push myself past episodes, but the end and the realness (it's something that very much could happen) made it worth the watch.

What? I completely disagree. I was some what onboard until the last episode. Off the rails......

So they use this app the public can update/clear areas that the dude isn't at. I'm sorry but what's stopping whoever the kidnapper is from clearing the area where the dude really is so nobody goes to look for him there?

Are we the same person?

I was coming to here to say, it was good filler for a plane flight. Back and forth to Cali was the appropriate time.

And agreed on the twist(s). I didn’t guess the ending. But to be fair, I wasn’t really concentrating on figuring anything out.

I finished it. It was entertainment, that's it. But I couldn't understand why Pia and the widow got to hang out with the Oakland cops when they went to take down the old guy or when they questioned suspects. And when the kid got taken to the trailer, why did the cops drive in from Oakland? They should have called in the locals first. Just stupid stuff like that bothered me.
