Harlan Coben’s new Netflix thriller series Missing You dropped on New Year’s Day – and fans all scrambled to watch it, but on doing so have now warned others not to ‘waste their time’ on it.

The five-part series, based on the 2014 novel of the same name, sees Slow Horses actor Rosalind Eleazar in the leading role alongside a whole load of cameos from stars including I’m A Celeb’s GK Barry and Busted’s Matt Willis. It follows Kat, played by Rosalind, 10 years after her father dies and her fiancé leaves her, never to be seen again.

In true Harlan fashion, Kat’s job as a Detective Inspector soon gets entangled with her personal life. In Missing You, chaos ensues in the form of a reappearance of Kat’s ex Josh Buchanan (played by Top Boy’s Ashley Walters) in an unexpected place and a murderous dog breeder portrayed by a particularly macabre Steve Pemberton.

While it clocked up to the number 1 watched list on Netflix, viewers have been left ‘underwhelmed’ at the thriller – with lots ‘dumb plot holes’ and an ‘unsatisfying ending’. One viewer, @JLaurel75 wrote on X: ‘Don’t waste your time on the series Missing You on Netflix. Awful, full of dumb plot holes, and an unsatisfying ending.’.
The main problem was that Pemberton’s character’s whole reason for having a murderous farm where – spoiler – he keeps prisoners in stables like cattle, is never explained. Surely the psychology behind this would have been interesting to explore… No?.
