This was one of the most intense and gripping series I’ve ever watched. Especially as a parent, you were right there with the family, you were experiencing the confusion, the fear and the frustration. The actor that played Jamie did a phenomenal job. This was a really unusual perspective and not the typical view from only the homicide detectives. This is not solving a mystery, this is showing the impact of a life-changing event on a family and exploring the intense emotions -VERY well done.

Very cliché unoriginal characters with an almost cartoonish plot. Predictable frat level humor & far fetched action. Watchable for very fluffy & forgettable entertainment.

To start with the positives, the acting was excellent. The plot at its core was very interesting. And the last scene was immensely intense… Spoilers ahead. There were many plot holes in this movie. The two abandoned children were missing adapt to their characters. What kind of up raising did they have without their mother? What did they want from her? Why did they suddenly decide to torture the family? How were both sets of kids so close in age when that’s really not possible? Why did the family allow themselves to be trapped when it did not appear that the two older kids had any serious weapons with them. Why did the mother not choose to defend her innocent family? By not flushing out these characters more, the empathy factor was missing. I only felt truly sorry Ian as he legit did not know about any of this, so I’m not sure why the oldest wanted to kill him. It had good potential, but I wish they had done some things differently.
