The premise intrigued me. A little boy, Jesse, that went missing 20 years earlier and is presumed dead, but then his DNA turns up at a murder scene 20 years later. The story mainly surrounds Jesse's brother, Mark, and three other friends, Slade, Danny, and Pru, that were there that day when he went missing. They are trying to figure what is going on, and if Jesse really is alive.
Solid acting by the cast. Really nice cinematography. Good use of flashbacks to flesh out the story. For 10 episodes the character development is impressive. I really feel like I got to know everyone well. It got a little soapy at times with relationships stuff. There are at least a couple of annoying characters.
The mystery was completely wrapped up. I hate shows that are milked to death and filled with new questions that will never be answered just so they can keep a series going. I hate plot holes. Pay attention writers, this series right here is how you do it.
The viewers are able to put the pieces together along with the characters at the same time. Chances are you'll figure out parts of this early on. Though you may question your theory later as I did. The "how" is nicely filled in as the show carries on.
There's some dark subject matter and violence, but nothing overly visually disturbing. If you like Shetland, True Detective(season one), you may enjoy this.
