## What critics say

Audiences rated this miniseries negatively, finding its twisty mystery and dating-app premise less compelling than its Harlan Coben source material promises.

## Synopsis

Missing You (2025) is a British American co-produced crime thriller miniseries created by Victoria Asare-Archer and Harlan Coben for Netflix. Rosalind Eleazar plays Detective Kat Donovan, whose life is upended when a dating app match turns out to be the fiance who disappeared years earlier. Richard Armitage co-stars as Ellis Stagger, and Lenny Henry appears as Clint Donovan, with the family and personal ties around the investigation shaping each step. The engine is simple: Kat wants the truth about a vanishing that she assumed was closed, while every new lead forces her to confront people she thought she knew. Across five episodes of roughly 46 minutes, the story unfolds as one continuing mystery in which each reveal reshapes the last. The setting is contemporary Britain, with the procedural work and private lives woven tightly together. The tone is tense and emotionally charged, a grounded mix of noir unease and domestic betrayal. Fans of Harlan Coben adaptations such as The Woods and Fool Me Once will find the same blend of buried secrets, suspicious relationships, and a slow reveal that rewards close attention. The series carries a TV-MA rating and a moderate run time, making it a focused, compact watch for mystery lovers.
