Catchy, exciting six-part miniseries about the disappearance of a sixteen-year-old girl in the French Ardennes. Not equally believable everywhere, but the fun characters and the intriguing story structure make up for a lot. The series is actually captivating right from the start, always a good sign, and the suspense is nicely maintained until the satisfying ending.

Somehow I've ended up in the same kind of (mini)series lately. Actually, I can largely copy the review of the previous one (Stay Close). I like the principle of this kind of series, but oof, the clichés are there. The new chief police officer from outside the village who looks at it differently, the local police who look from the wrong perspective and are personally too involved, everyone in the village who knows each other and becomes suspicious. What an unpleasant role that agent also had. The story is supposed to shock (abused and murdered kids), but it doesn't really do it for me. The quest with all kinds of side paths is sufficiently memorable. The level of drama is just a bit too high for me, it could have been more on the mystery side. It is actually two stories for the price of one, where Eve's becomes increasingly dominant, but completely uninteresting. Disappointing final episode and last half hour completely unnecessary.
Entertaining, but not that strong. So actually fine for a six-part mini-series.
