Wish I could like it
I love the concept of this series, but the acting is just awful!! Like, embarrassingly amateur and predictable. I never once forgot I was watching actors at work, each performance straining to convince; which meant none were very believable. Super stereotypical villains and heroes, which was irritating after awhile- it's not so easy to spot who is who is real life, folks. It's would be nice if it was, but a certain appearance doesn't indicate "good" or "bad". I really tried and I wanted so much to like this show, but I truly cannot keep watching. Maybe it would be fine tucked into the Lifetime movie library, or if Hallmark has a drama category?
Potential but...
The lead actress is the low point of this show. I don't care whatsoever about her character and I should. The young lady who plays her in flashbacks is more compelling. Having said that, I think the show is good and the rest of the cast does a great job pulling you into their story. I don't know how long this show will last but I am invested in their stories. I really like seeing Mark Paul in this role. Creepy. Doesn't think he's the bad guy. Well done. I'm sorry but they need a better actress to play the lead or kill her off and let someone else take it. She's too Vivica A Fox and that's not a compliment.
Could be really good
I started watching this after I saw a preview. It looked really interesting, and the first few episodes of Season 1 were interesting. But as the season progressed the stories have become less interesting to frankly boring.
I the show is about the relationship between Gabi and Sir but the show is called found, so the people they need to find should be interesting too. So far, they've been less than interesting.
The acting is top notch especially the two actresses that play Gabi and the actor who plays Sir. Margaret, Zeke and Dhan are also interesting characters. Lacey should be an interesting character, but she isn't, and Mark Trent is kind unnecessary and boring.
I hope the stories get better because I would like to see the conflict between Sir and Gabi continue to grow. It would be nice if the people their looking for get more depth to their stories.

It's Good But Has Its Problems
It's a good show honestly and has a lot of interesting moments in it. I think that the weak part to the show is honestly the cases each week. They can be so boring and not entertaining or interesting at all. They aren't fun to watch and I feel like if they improved, then it would be much better.
Now, the characters are why I watch this show because they each have a backstory that intrigues me, and Sir and Gabi's relationship is top notch. The acting is decent throughout the show (the main actors are good but the others aren't that great). I am excited for what is to come but I do hope it improves. Overall 6/10 is a fair score I think.

The writing is naive, stilted, and very unrealistic.
Ultimately, it's written with too much 'going extreme,' has tone problems, overacting, some false urgency, etc, and needed better directing and editing.
The un-credentialed absolutely do not get to do whatever they want or act however they wish to, in the name of helping a child, even if they'd do a better job than 'the authorities'! The amount of pushback and shutdown they'd get would be crushing and permanent. Like, way past 'cease and desist', into major harassment, if not arrests and prosecutions.
The lead is portrayed as a ridiculous braggart, so how that's supposed to engender respect or attract helpful attention about a movement is a mystery. And, does establishing that a group holds each other in some esteem have to involve them blowing huge plumes of smoke up each other's rears?
The central character is shown making points that are already in evidence, but being really exaggerated and hyperbolic about it. She's overly defensive and corrective, which doesn't make for effective leadership. Then there's the over-enunciation of certain words... oof, painful.
Many are familiar with Shanola Hampton's assets, it's just disappointing that this series made the salacious choice to flap it all out in order to get enough eyes on this series in the pilot. It's definitely not integral to the story that she dress like a nearly homeless sex worker to do her job.
Anyway, Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Karan Oberoi both occasionally reach Lifetime-network-levels of sniping play-acting. The other actors are also less than believable. They left in a part where one muscley guy snorts while he's breathing, like a congested child. Gross.
And why does Kelli Williams have noticeably neglected hair? No one else does, not even abductees.
Also, there's very low likelihood that people who are that keyed up, on guard, triggered, fearful, etc. Would all be jazzed about getting inebriated at work before each person heads off alone for the evening. This behavior isn't believable. And how, exactly, are these private citizens so rich and well-heeled, anyway?
The way they're portraying traumatized people is also too much: "If there's one thing I know as an agoraphobe, it's houses." HUH, WHUT?! The writing is SO dumb.
Lastly, it's more than suggested that whites are the eternally uncaring enemy that over-credit and engage in habitual self-pity! Enjoy?!
