"Missing You" on Netflix

Really good. Definitely one of the best Harley Coben mysteries to be produced by Netflix. Excellent acting and intriguing story.

1. I like the main character but I am quite wary of all Harlan Coben productions.

They are generally trope filled over produced low quality script productions that use a top billing actor to compensate.

I'll watch the series, but I know it is going to disappoint. It already has. The main character exhibits the 'irrational emotionally driven woman' trope. I really don't like characters whose behavior is simply a plot device, rather than behavior based on character development.

2. I have mixed feelings about it. (Spoiler alert)

On the plus side: I thought it was well acted and an intriguing story. Kept you guessing right until the ending.

On the negative side: The main story resolved itself with about 20 minutes to go. I thought Huh? Now what's going to happen? Then there was one surprise after another. It just seemed kind of weird. Too much packed into too short of a time period.

3. I enjoyed it, too

It was a good escape to watch while bedridden with a mysterious virus. I watched it back-to-back with Black Doves and they kind of blurred together in a way, though they were very different. There was a park that I think was used in both.

I hear myself saying I don't like to watch violence, but I become a liar if it's a British crime or spy short series and I am either overwhelmed by life or not feeling well and it's villains getting hurt. I hope they keep these coming between now and the mid-term elections.
