Missing

Never manages to get out of the 30mph zone. So while it's interesting to start with, once you're up to speed & are ready for it to take off a bit, it just never does & keeps plodding along & you find yourself going faster than what you're watching... running the risk of being wrong but all too knowingly finding out that you weren't.

I felt no emotions throughout either of the 2 episodes & there was none shown from any of the players.

I did have a couple of cups of Earl Grey tea whilst watching which were quite nice, so that probably saved this from a more foul play score of 5 rather than the law abiding 6 which i have given it.

Ends up being a bit... meh

So the key thing about documentary's looking at old cold cases where the person convicted is actually innocent is that there is some intrigue, misjudgement or serious error on the police's part or new evidence that comes to light that means the case needs reexamining.

This has none of that. A man has said he's innocent for the last 14 years and all the leads that the investigators follow up on are dead ends or completely false.

I imagine this very short 2 part series would have been longer had the case actually been interesting. This is no making a murderer, or the tiger king or anything else for that matter.
