 Haven't looked on here until now as I have been a couple of weeks behind. |

Really enjoyed it. Was worried they'd utterly ruin the ending a la Line of Duty but no, it was nicely nuanced. There's always going to be some suspensions of belief involved for something like this to work but it was well crafted and brilliantly acted I thought. One of the best dramas of the year.

A great series, no doubt.
Personally I needed a few more shocks in the finale, some breathtaking new twists that no one had foreseen. The finale of series one had its own flaws (the fox, overly ambiguous) ....but in ways it was a more powerful ending. For example... I would have loved to have seen a passing glimpse of Real Alice's inner wrist WITHOUT a tattoo..just to feck with our heads one last time...  Also nothing about why or how Sophie and Lena were taken, in Paris and Munich respectively....just random, unconnected, opportunistic kidnappings. I would have preferred some connectivity. |

p.s. they should have found an actress to play Alice who actually looked like Sophie!.

Disagree, I think the disconnect was important to enforce the idea of how a family would deny the obvious reality in order to have their daughter back.

I know where you are coming from PP....but adult Alice had brown eyes....Sophie had distinctive light coloured blue green eyes, as did a young Alice. Ok, more important that Sophie's eye colour matched Young Alice...but adult Alice was a strange piece of casting imo. Not the end of the world, granted!

The ending was ok , they very often are terrible.
Surprised Lindsay Denton did not solve it quicker , mind. |

Wonderful series - at last an ending that I liked were the baddy gets caught. So much stuff these days were the endings are left in the air and the baddy gets away with it! Ok, so I'm old fashioned.
I wish they could have started this 2nd season with the kids body from the 1st season eventually being found. I didn't like the ending of season 1 at all. |

Agree with Ozy, if you are going to have a family convinced some other girl is their daughter, at least cast two girls who look a bit similar. Massively implausible. Nothing like each other. Other than that good stuff. Would also have liked a headf*ck in last episode - was almost a bit too straightforward after all the twisting.

the story line was pretty impressive if not totally impregnable.
As with the first series, the directing, production and some of the acting was almost unparalleled for this type of drama. |

By:
I liked first series more.
After a good start, this one, for me, tried to be too clever in its twists and turns and switches in time. Not so much confusing as annoying. To the point I lost interest and as a result didn't gain much empathy with any of the characters. |
|
By:
I agree with what Facts says above. I also agree with what Ozy says about the choice of actress for Alice.
The acting from all concerned was excellent so it was very watchable. |

Have just had a dramatic lightbulb moment...our heads have been fecked with after all, we just didn't realise it....
Adult Alice, who we met in Ep 8, is not actually Alice at all.... |

The Missing actor Tchéky Karyo has revealed that an alternate ending was filmed for the series two finale of the BBC show.
The drama first aired in 2014, with its second series concluding last night (November 30). It ended with a cliffhanger, leaving viewers to speculate on the fate of Karyo’s character Julien Baptiste as he undergoes brain tumour surgery. Karyo revealed to Digital Spy that they shot an alternate ending where Baptiste “wakes up and asks, ‘where is my wife?'” He added that he hopes for his character to return in a potential third series, saying: “We’ll see now if there are more skeletons in the closet. It looks like Julien Baptiste is becoming a [popular] figure. We had Hercule Poirot, now it’s Julien Baptiste!” Writer Harry Williams recently said of a third series: “It would have to be very different, and not cynical, and it’d have to be saying something new. Never say never – but we haven’t had the idea yet, to be honest.“ Williams added to The Mirror: “I think the worst thing we could do is just rush another one because people love it, and leave a bad taste in the mouth. As and when we have the idea – if we have the idea – then I’m sure we will. But I think, for a little while, probably not.” Read more at http://www.nme.com/news/tv/the-missing-alternate-ending-series-2-1884838#g6q65ROi2ZIVvuyF.99 |

Thanks, Bigmo. I had heard about this and was going to mention it but couldn't be bothered
 You have done a far better job than I would have done. |

I should think that there'll be pressure from some quarters for a 3rd series eventually to be made as viewing figures were high - 7 to 8 million per episode apparently!
