Vanished review  even Kaley Cuoco can't save this desperately daft mystery caper
"Cuoco played an ordinary, if functionally alcoholic, stewardess who found herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and enmeshed in an ever-deepening mystery, then mortal peril. She found unexpected reserves of courage and resourcefulness and managed to stay half a step ahead of the bad guys until it was time for vanquishings and comeuppances all round."
"In Vanished, she is Alice, an ordinary, non-alcoholic archaeologist, who finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and enmeshed in an ever-deepening mystery, then mortal peril. She finds unexpected reserves of courage and resourcefulness and is, I suspect, going to manage to stay half a step ahead of the bad guys until it is time for vanquishings and comeuppances all round."
"Alice has been having a long-distance relationship with a pair of cheekbones called Tom (Sam Claflin) for the last four years. Something about the handsome medic she first meets as he saves a group of women and children from bandits appealed to her and they have been meeting in hotel rooms round the world whenever their globetrotting jobs' itineraries allow."
Vanished is a four-part miniseries featuring Kaley Cuoco as Alice, an archaeologist in a long-distance relationship with Tom, a handsome medic played by Sam Claflin. After four years of meeting in hotel rooms worldwide, Alice accepts a lecturer position at Princeton and Tom agrees to settle down with her. To celebrate their commitment, Tom books them a stay at a luxury hotel in Marseille. The narrative follows a familiar pattern where Alice finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time, becoming enmeshed in an escalating mystery and mortal danger. Drawing parallels to Cuoco's previous role in The Flight Attendant, the story emphasizes her character discovering unexpected courage and resourcefulness while staying ahead of antagonists, ultimately leading to confrontations and resolutions.
