abc's highly anticipated new drama series starring ashley judd (double jeopardy, kiss the girls)
exotic locations and thrilling twists will keep viewers riveted in this story of a mother whose son
suddenly disappears while studying abroad, and of the surprising events that reveal just how far she'll
go to find him and bring him back home. the series will begin with 10 episodes, and comes from writer
gregory poirier (national treasure: book of secrets) and executive producers gina matthews and
grant scharbo (the gates)
how far would you go to save the only thing you have left in the world? after cia agent paul winstone
(sean bean, game of thrones) was murdered, his wife, becca (judd), and their son, michael,
struggled to rebuild their lives. now, 10 years later, michael goes missing under suspicious
circumstances, and becca will do anything it takes to find him.
from the time michael was just 8 years old and witnessed his father's death, becca has been
overprotective. but she couldn't say no to michael's amazing opportunity to study in rome. just a few
weeks into his trip, however, michael disappears. becca flies to rome for answers, but no one takes her
seriously -- so she takes matters into her own hands. becca isn't just a mother looking for her son; both
she and michael's father were cia agents, so whoever took michael has messed with the wrong mother.
still, if becca wants to find her son alive, it will take all of her resourcefulness, skill and determination,
and she'll have to rely on old friends and reopen old wounds. but a mother's love knows no limits.
missing stars ashley judd as becca winstone, sean bean as paul winstone, nick eversman (cinema
verite" as michael winstone, cliff curtis (trauma) as dax, adriano giannini (oceans twelve) as
giancarlo and tereza voriskova (borgia) as oksana.

producer along with gina matthews, grant scharbo, steve shill (dexter) and james parriott (sons of
anarchy). shill, an emmy winner for directing dexter, will direct many of the episodes for missing.

tereza vo?
i was hoping jj abrams got a stroke and tried to come up with a new name for a series. you know...
something other than lost. next up, undeliberately mislocated, a new hit series about car keys that
were last seen on the desk. but ok. i will give this show a fair chance to fail to keep up my
interest. because, you know, it's important to be optimistic and have an open mind and all that
mumbo jumbo. *sigh*
so far i've found it pretty mediocre. something just feels off about the entire show. the whole
set-up was extremely rushed and the rest of it doesn't feel much better.
just finished...god.. cliche ending much?
i might give this one more episode.. i usually like this kind of show, but that was just not good. i
can't imagine who was "anticipating" this so highly.
just happen to finish viewing this show. i happen to like it.
lucky i i didn't miss it, happen to find it by luck. waiting
for the next episode. i should be seeding, for those who
miss.
i thought it was pretty wel done, although there were some obvious cliches there.
seriously though...in 2012 it's very hard to create something that isn't derivative of another show
or movie at least occasionally. most of the 100% original concepts i've seen have also been 100%
ponderous. you can't reinvent the wheel, but you can improve on it.
anyhow, not a bad show...they obviously have a hefty budget to work with...i'll give it a few more
episodes.
