jimj40 A lot of this show was shot in Bulgaria - makes sense since it's close to Turkey. I managed to wade through three episodes but I just can't force myself to inflict any more of this predictable nonsense on myself. I'm told that the cast contains some reasonable actors, so I can only assume that they're doing the best that they can with the clunky script - although that's being kind as the acting is wooden at best and everything is just so hammy and exaggerated. It's scary to think that there's going to be a second series of Absentia: can the other offerings really be that much worse or do people just have no sense of what makes a good show any more? Don't make my mistake - do something useful with the hours of your life that you'd otherwise waste on this pointless and artificial nonsense. Just one last question though: How do people get paid to write, stage and act in so much junk these days and how do I get into this "business" of making money from mediocrity? I doubt that I have any more talent than the cast of most of the pap that's currently being churned out - but I certainly don't have any less....

MelL777 Am not usually one to binge watch TV but this was really *that* good. Everyone especially Katic was brilliant (disclaimer, have been a fan since 'Castle'). I didn't find any fault with her husband either, despite some of the critics here!10/10 for all the plot twists, interesting story & great acting.

kathymisskathy I came upon this show because a friend suggested it...I love it, I think there has not been this good of show in a long time! I love the writing, the acting, and the suspense. It has me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I am pretty smart when figuring out who did it....and I am on episode 8 and I still cannot figure out what is going on and I love that! Just when I think I know, I watch a new episode and I am fantastically wrong!!! It is so wonderfully unpredictable! I love the raw emotions and struggles of relationships and step-parenting. Thank you Stana Katic!! You could really tell a woman is behind this!! It is not just suspenful but meaningful!!

Siddhartha14 I endured 3 episodes and gave up. I just couldn't watch the rest of it.
