There's something very satisfying about a tight, five- or six-episode British crime drama. Every episode is just compelling and action packed enough, and because police in the U.K. don't carry guns, every episode doesn't just end in a ridiculous shoot-out.
While Harlen Coben didn't intend for Missing You to be this sedate British crime drama when he wrote the novel, this Netflix adaptation has managed to make the novel into something more, becoming a meditation on British racial drama.
I still don't know why Titus did anything that he did, nor why any of those creep henchmen were enlisted. Still, it was pretty cool watching suburban mom Debra take an axe to the dipshits who wronged her.
Even watching Titus fumble with shotgun shells while trying to juggle threats from both Kat and Debra was compelling. Can you even have a crime drama without some sort of harebrained over-explanation that leads to the bad guy's downfall?
