Missing You, a new Netflix series based on Harlan Coben's novel, offers a compelling mystery with a steady pace and intriguing characters.
Netflix subscribers know this better than anyone: investigative series are a dime a dozen on the streaming platform – and on network television – so fans of the genre always have something new to watch. The question is, what should you dedicate your time to? Harlan Coben 's Missing You makes a pretty good case for itself, and it may very well be an excellent start to the year in television.
Fresh off the success of several other series based on author Harlan Coben's bestselling novels — like Stay Close, The Innocent and last year's Fool Me Once — Missing You adapts the 2014 book of the same name and follows a similar structure to the other limited series but, of course, doesn't depend on the other titles to work. In fact, the new Netflix show could be your starting point in the Harlan Coben collection. Once you finish watching this one, chances are you'll be hungry for more twisty and compelling stories. What Is 'Missing You' About? Missing You centers around Kat Donovan (Slow Horses' Rosalind Eleazar), a detective inspector who is at a pretty low moment in her life. Her father was killed, and the assassin never revealed his motives; right after that, her soon-to-be-husband just up and left her — although it might be more accurate to say he disappeared. Josh (Ashley Walters) eliminated every piece of information about himself from the internet and was gone without a trace, redefining the concept of'ghosting.' Everything changes when Kat randomly finds Josh's profile on a dating app. Missing You is very aware that it has five episodes to tell its story, which is why it doesn't waste any time beating around the bush. Writer Victoria Asare-Archer (Stay Close) seems to be aware of the fact that in the age of infinite content, a new show has to be worth your time, but that doesn't mean that Missing You is rushed. The series chooses a steady pace for itself and sticks to it, with rare diversions. Missing You's overall pace is also a reflection of its lead character
