Reviews

sftrojan Although a great cast and well directed, the series turns towards the unconscionable when they begin to blame the victim for her own abduction. Being American and the victim of a brutal attack in London, I can express that my experiences with the British legal system were much the same. Shameful.

bjarias ..this is BBC crime-drama at its best... ..all the way through, right up to the very end.. ..the writing and acting is perfect....this is a story having been told many times before.. ..but this time in a way that lets you feel is fresh....for a young actor only 25 years old.. ..she's done some substantial work.. check her credits.. ..she'd be a full-fledged star in this country.. ..better to stay put, and keep appearing in top notch work....bravo.. all round !!https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5159916/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2

callalily-61774 Strong acting. I've read others say it's slow, but I didn't find that. I thought it was more of a character study, you got to know the characters, and how the events affected everyone, not just Ivy. I binged it, it kept you watching. I wanted to understand Ivy, why she made certain decisions, why she was lying, was she ever going to be safe, are they going to find the other little girl, are they going to figure out who took her, and what he's all about. It touches on how people have opportunities to escape bad situations, but fear and psychological manipulation keep people from leaving. How difficult it can be to act, even in our own self interest, when in fear and fed lies. It got maybe a touch over the top at the very end, but there was a satisfying ending. I would say it's worth watching.

tamsinmae I've never written an IMDB review before but this series I had high hopes for but unfortunately the roles of the CID female and male officers are totally pathetic. Oh and the psychologist. For a start this is supposed to be present day and the two CID officers and psychologist who are left to 'handle' the investigation don't seem to have any idea of how to treat a victim or at least one of this sort. You would've thought on such a high profile case and in such extreme circumstances the Police would have specialists in this field to help the victim come to terms with being free. (You'd hope they would!) The CID officers performances because of the lack of knowledge is such so it's painful to watch especially the female officer perform her script. I just keep saying to myself (in my head) "REALLY, are they really getting you to say such things???", as she is basically accusing Ivy of being an accomplice of some sort. I mean hello 'Stockholm syndrome' !??!?! That was discovered in 1972. Ivy was captured when she was 13 a MINOR. Her role has totally ruined the watchablity of series, I'm only continuing to watch to find because I hope there will be a good ending. It's tough though!
