The Disappearance (2018–2022)
3/10
Plots Are Full of Holes
9 August 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Apart from the fact that the female lead character is over the top, which many other reviewers have noted, the frustrating thing about what could be a very good series is the huge number of gaping plot holes and inconsistencies in the plots. Here is just one of many examples. In season 2, one of the lead partners at our heroine's legal firm and a crime boss go to great lengths to force her to tank her defense of an alleged murderer so that he will be put away forever. She, nevertheless, gets him off, and then it is revealed that he was actually guilty, partly by means of photos of him leaving jail in the happy embrace of the crime lord who wanted him convicted! Then, the same firm partner who had wanted her to tank the case fires her because she had let a murderer go free and therefore had spoiled the firm's reputation??? Like a defense firm is supposed to vigorously represent only innocent clients and let the guilty ones be convicted? In season 3, however, that same partner is shown to be friendly and in close cahoots with the murderer. I could go on and on and on. I'm continuing to watch as much for how many plot inconsistencies I can spot in each new episode as I am for the parts that are actually enjoyable. I will give the show one pat on the back. The female lead does a great job of playing a character that has become a full-fledged drunk at the beginning of season 3.
