Watched this from start to finish.....on the edge of my seat throughout! Upon 1st glance, people may be dubious of the line up of actors. Look closer! This line up of actors made this series, together with one of the best scripts delicately skirting the subject of child abduction. That's not the be all or end all of the story. Brilliant acting, brilliant twists, BRILLIANT !!!!! Just watch it !!! 5*****

A masterpiece. Sucks you right into the story and makes you obsessing about WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED! Thrilling and emotional. Great acting by the French-British crew. Great directory and a creative filming techniques. A must watch.
