I enjoyed the Eurocentricalities (?) of the themes and how they played out, even the use of subtitles rather than insisting on English dialogue all the time. The Iraq bit in the the second series of The Missing though was though a bit over the top I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
