Alert

I love Scott Caan so when I saw he was gonna be on this show I was excited. Dania Ramirez is a good actress as well. HOWEVER, she and the character Kemi are getting on my last nerve!

It has the potential to be a great show but those characters ruin the show especially Kemi's front and center "religion". If another "religion" (especially Christianity) was pushed so hard on a show, it would have probably never seen the light of day.

There is a difference between being smart and being a know-it-all; Kemi is a know it all. My husband is over this show so I will probably turn off the auto-record feature on my dvr after tonight's episode.

Oh and I have to agree with other's comments about Dania always saying (I can't even remember the character's name that's how much I no longer like the character), "we get our babies back, that's what we do". It was cool the first time but in reality she wouldn't be able to keep that promise.

Anyways, just my 2 cents.

Every time this nut Kemi is given screen time, I feel annoyed. The character is a horrible co worker and a lunatic. The writers seem to be pushing acceptance of her being allowed to push her beliefs on the traumatized parents of missing children. Her coworker is allergic to her burning incense and she refuses to stop. I don't know what they are trying to do with her character. The rest of the show is ok, so far. Lots of things happening that would never happen in real life. No police officers would be allowed to do what these ones do. Seems to be an interesting side story that will keep me watching for answers.

Drop the we get our babies back line. Also, maybe make some of these people not come back. It's not believable that they save every single person who goes missing. Who are they trying to kid with that?

Also. The beginning part of every episode where everybody is looking at their phones for a missing personal alert. That's BS. Nobody has ever gotten an alert like that in the history of people getting alerts.

Other than that, I like this show.

I really wanted to succeed, but sometimes I just wonder if it's going to get canceled at any moment.

The acting isn't terrible. The writers just need to do a better job overall.

I enjoyed Scott Cann in Hawaii 5.0, so I gave this show a try. He remains likeable, but I'm quickly running out of patience with the writing and with the other characters. Our heroine, a detective specializing in recovering people who have disappeared, is entirely too sentimental: if I hear her say one more time "we get our babies back", particuarly when referring to middle aged people, it will be one time too many. There is another detective who thinks she has had past lives, and connects with the victims' families by rubbing eggs on them: now this was cute once or twice, but it's getting weird, and perhaps a bit cruel when she supposed with sandlewood allows a comatose patient to communicate for a very limited few lines. Unless you want an audience of all 20 year olds, cut back on the sex triangles. In the real world, sex in the back room of a police station is going to get you fired.

And the older daughter looks maybe five years younger than her mother, and certainly older than a high school student. My husband says that they're highly specialized police professionals, and they're acting like horny teenagers.

This could have been a really great show. But, instead it had so many ridiculous things happening every episode. The main female detective calling everyone baby was cringy. Her also telling everyone that they would bring back the missing person. It's well established that you can't promise people what your not sure of happening. Let's not even get started on the Voodoo/spiritualist who goes around in a police room reading people and using eggs to tell the future. Stories about finding missing people and the professionals who help achieve it could have been a really inspiring series. This was a failure.
