Fly Away

Writing this review with teary eyes after watching this episode even after so many years. The brilliance of the acting, writing and score for this episode still make this one of the MOST EMOTIONALLY GRIPPING episodes of the series. You can almost feel the hopelessness of the Mother for her Child as though you were living in their reality and what a sad reality it is because you know that this type of thing is really happening out in the world somewhere. Well done overall to the creators and actors of this show but especially this episode...you really pulled on the heart strings with this one. Thankyou Prime Video for streaming this amazing series...I'll definitely be binge watching over the holiday break.

It's July 2023 and I just started watching Cold Case. I know I'm only 8 episodes, but I'm hooked, be it 20 years late. Thank God for streaming.

This was such a strong episode, that left me drained. Either my AC filter needs to be changed or teared up a little. The tone was just so hopeless. The writing didn't pull any punches and believed the audience could handle the subject matter.

Detective Rush (Kathryn Morris) does a great job fighting her own personal experiences when investigating this case.

I can only hope there are more episodes like this. The way each episode end with Det Rush seeing the victim(s) is such a nice touch.

Have a box of tissues handy while watching this episode. Very moving and emotional. Really good storyline as well.

I remember when this episode first aired it affected me and my sister so strongly! And now...over 16 years later it still affects the same way... what an amazing episode! Very moving and touching!

This is one of those Cold Case episodes that reaches inside you and rips your heart out.

What makes this episode so devastating is that you don't feel exploited for cheap sentiment. It's worse: It is devastating because you have no problem believing it happened in real life. It's a hard watch, but an immensely satisfying one. This is what made this sadly underrated series just plain great. It never talked down to its audience. It pulled none of its punches. Its humanity demanded you take it seriously.
