Is anyone else watching this? I saw a preview on STARZ channel and was intrigued. It is a BBC drama now picked up by STARZ for your binging pleasure. If you have STARZ on your cable lineup then you can get On Demand or else stream online.

I've only watched episode 1 of each of the 2 seasons and I am already hooked. The seasons are independent of each other so you can watch either one first. Actually season 2 looks best of the 2 IMHO.

Both seasons are about the investigation of a missing child, but with big time plot twists. The thing that hooked me was the preview of season 2 that implies that the missing child that was found 11 years after abduction might not actually be the missing child that she is assumed to be.

It reminds me of HBO's The Leftovers - tragically sad when you empathize with the loss that the characters are going through, yet despite the overall sadness of the premise the story itself is so compelling that you want to continue watching the story to see what happens no matter how sad the subject.

More plot twists are in store, but I am already hooked.
 
The show bounces back and forth between the time of the abductions (6 years in season 1, a few more for season 2) and present day, but you can easily tell the difference by the characters' hair length. Apparently losing a child makes you grow your hair out.
