This miniseries is well worth watching provided one does not expect the show to follow logical dramatic paths. The ending is what will disappoint most except for a few, I would imagine. There is no doubt that the ending is appropriate. There is no doubt that the meandering threads of the story that each lead to disappointment are equally appropriate. The problem with this series is in the deliberate arrangement of the threads by backing up and going forward in time. This leads to the inevitable conclusion by the viewer that the writer/director is in weaving the story and knows the ending of the story. To then cede control of the story to an UNEXPLAINED (as opposed to unknown) fate is not very good story telling. So, for the lack of an appropriate ending (3 seconds of dirt falling on the camera would have not been too much to ask) the story is all but lost and the viewer is left to contemplate the plot line rather than the tragic lack of closure that is often the fate of parents of missing children. So while it was a good series, it wasn't. It was 3 seconds short.
