Started out well but

Lots of promise and could've been a really interesting study of the traumatic effects on women who are kidnapped and kept prisoner for years as well as what happens to their families, but somehow this never really gets into that. It's surprisingly superficial.

The family dynamic is plausible with the mother becoming almost psychotically obsessed with Amy's well-being while her father is riddled with guilt but what I really don't get is the police detectives' attitudes. One is pathologically hostile while the other seems to be infatuated with Amy. And I totally missed the point of the school and headmaster's storyline - probably because BBC America inexplicably moved the last 2 episodes from 8pm to 4pm on a Thursday and so I missed a lot of this.

score 5/10
