Disparitions: La course contre la montre

Don't waste your time with this if you're a true crime documentary fan. This is 100% staged nonsense, it's attempting to be true like making a murdered / staircase etc etc. But it's so obvious it is all staged for dramatic effect. No one in law enforcement works like these people, reading important documents in the street, going inside a home then to stumble on a door closed with a lump of wood then declaring a search warrant is required. The interview scenes show "real" police doing interrogation and the actresses nowhere to be seen. I watched the first episode and if so false and fake , I had to Google the facts and not one of these actresses/police women were mentioned. Give this a swerve.

I don't know if this show is 100% documentary or somewhat or entirely scripted. I wasn't there. The question is, did I like it? Yes.

I am a huge fan of Dateline and 20/20. I've been watching those shows for years, primarily for the one reason I keep tuning in: I don't know "whodunnit" until the end. I get to figure out the crime along with the experts. This show works the same way - will they be found alive or dead? I can take the journey with the officials in order to find out.

Whether these cases are scripted or not, the theme remains the same: people can go missing at the drop of a hat, and it takes some very skilled and experienced people to try to find them. If that interests you, then this show will probably appeal to you.

I really don't understand all the dislike for this docu-series? Is it the best true crime series you will ever watch? No it will not be the best, but not the worse either. It definitely kept me engaged enough to binge it in a day. I thought it was a decent look at what a missing case unit Does. They are definitely a unit I feel does not get a lot of credit for all the hard work they do.

Yes most of what they do is boring & time consuming, not as exciting as maybe regular police work. I felt they showed a good mix of cases, they would be involved with.

A couple definitely had me guessing. Others I could predict.

The is super staged... Around every turn they get perfect footage captured, the timing of "running into" possible key people at just the right time, or right when possible evidence goes "missing".... Ridiculous! The Son... Just trying to get past the way he speaks is a full time job in itself. Sometimes you can hear the scripted part of these detectives talking to one another, bad acting.

This is not worth watching. Even worse than Making a Murderer, just garbage, don't bother...

Just stick to real crime documentaries or shows that are truly dedicated to solving crimes, this is not that show.

I quite liked this series. I thought the filming was done really well. Being from and overseas location, I was interested to see the countryside, towns etc.

The cases were quit interesting. It is all done quite slowly and could have been sped up a bit, but that's only a minor point.

Yes, some of the dialogue is a bit wooden - but these are cops, not actors. And so you can't expect them to have a conversation about a case and have it come off totally spontaneous.

I was surprised by the amount of effort the cops went to to find these people. I'm guessing they focused on a few cases where they did in fact, put a lot of resources into the search.

I imagine there must be many other cases where they can't devote so much time and energy towards finding a missing person.
