Missing You

With less than half a minute into the first episode, the clichés of modern storytelling were served.

The story is riddled with clichés, predictable twists, and underdeveloped characters that make it difficult to become emotionally invested. The protagonist's motivations are shallow, and the supporting cast is mostly reduced to stereotypical archetypes. The pacing feels uneven, with sluggish exposition dragging down the first act and a rushed finale that resolves conflicts too conveniently.

The dialogue is another weak point. Many lines feel forced and to some extent unnatural. The cast's performances are hindered by a script that fails to provide depth or nuance.

That's all I have about this one.

Here's a proofread and polished version of your update:

Just binge-watched all five episodes. I wasn't really feeling it by episode two but decided to see it through.

Cohen adaptations seem to follow a pattern of largely unrelated or overly complicated story threads that all neatly come together in the final episode. While previous ones have been quite good, this one felt really weak in comparison.

There wasn't much of a storyline in this one, and all the "aha" moments were crammed into the last episode-typical Cohen from what I've seen.

The acting was okay, and the characters weren't terrible, but the story just wasn't compelling or engaging. It felt more like a matter of simply getting through to the end.

I wouldn't say don't watch it, but if you have other options in your queue, I'd definitely put those ahead of this one.

Let me know if there's anything you'd like adjusted further!

I regret wasting my time on Missing You. The series was painfully boring and utterly predictable from start to finish. The plot lacked any real depth or originality, and the characters were one-dimensional, making it hard to care about their fates. Every twist was telegraphed so far in advance that it felt like the writers weren't even trying.

What could have been an emotional and gripping story was instead dragged out with repetitive dialogue and unnecessary scenes that added nothing to the narrative. It felt like the show was just filling time rather than delivering meaningful content.

If you're looking for a compelling drama, look elsewhere. Missing You was a complete waste of time.

The leading actress was all that kept me hooked, but the rest of the acting was so patchy and unconvincing - even from the bigger names. There were plot lines that led nowhere, explanations not given, superfluous characters that just cluttered things up, and lots of truly incredible events and coincidences. The locations were good, but there was the increasingly annoying and inexplicable decision to use the 'teal and orange' colour scheme throughout - which is SO irritating and crops up all the time (The A Word, Ludwig etc) for no good reason whatsoever - and once you notice it it's SO distracting.

Average.

First of all, when I first watched the official trailer of the tv series I liked it and that's the reason why I decided to watch it. Eventually, it was just an average tv series and probably I wouldn't watch it more than once. The tv series synopsis was interesting and mysterious, even though there are many shows/movies similar to this one. Unfortunately, the storyline wasn't well-written because there were many plot holes and it wasn't well-explained. The main characters were kinda interesting, well-developed and likeable. The filming locations of show (UK) were beautiful and the cinematography was well-done. The casting choices were nice and their performances were descent. I have to admit, it was a kinda intense show and there were some suspenseful moments, however there weren't any insane plot twists. Gladly, the runtime and pacing of each episode wasn't too long, even though there were some boring parts during the show. In my opinion, the final episode was probably the best episode of the show. The ending was kinda unpredictable, but it wasn't well-explained. Overall, "Missing You" was an average tv series, kinda mysterious, but it wasn't well-explained and that's the reason why I wouldn't recommend it to my friends.
