What amounts to approx 6.5 hours of made up cheaply fabricated sections of tension: creeping around old buildings, woods, tunnels, etc, etc. This series could easily been condensed into a 50 minute film but even that would have been a rip-off.
One reviewer had claimed that if you liked the Tunnel or the Bridge series, you'd like this. I did very much like those series but found Absentia nothing like them. My attention can often be grabbed. I was hoping someone would come up with the goods - something, anything... from either the script writer, the director or at least one of the actors but nadda.
This series (for me) was a complete let down. The concept could have been born from a kids story. Well done kid - I'm not knocking you, the script writer's to blame. The director, well they must have been drowning their sorrows in the hotel bar. The actors..... Move on, there are better rolls to play.
