MISSING YOU Netflix Ending Explained

[@BrainPilot]

How do you think this compares to "Fool Me Once" from last year? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

[@louisefarrar6037]

Fool Me Once was ten times better. Maya was such a compelling character with her own flaws and challenges to overcome and at the end, though it was tragic, there was comeuppance for everyone. Maya sacrificed herself to bring down the Burketts and ending her own torment over the murder of innocent civilians; and the corrupt, psychopathic Burkett family were taken down. By contrast, Kat’s great struggle to break through this prison of lies literally everyone in her life has trapped her in is muted by the fact she decides to forgive everyone and becoming just as morally corrupt as them.

[@Billman0780]

Could made this in 3 episodes. That storyline who the old dude was killing people had nothing to do with her story line with her dad. A lot of this killed this show for me

[@venkatadrimannam4889]

Honestly, old dude was killing people should made as a main story, initial three episides are good, may be they are planing for 2nd season, simple climax killed entire season.

[@anakinjmanu]

@@venkatadrimannam4889totally agree, he played his well really well and I thought it was an interesting arc that should have been stretched more

[@derrickhall-el6hx]

I hated it lol Also how does Kat just completely ignore that Josh ran away for 11 years and get back with him, and still get back with him after the ending.... Waste of time and sad I wasted my friday night binging this show

[@BrainPilot]

Yeah that was such a strange move! Both Kat and Josh were way too quick with their reunion

[@odugbesanodufopehan1609]

Like? He left and went to have a baby He left and changed his name To think she was willing to forgive him after she found out he left because he found out her dad was cheating and corrupt. Like was that a reason to leave and even take it a step further by changing your name?

[@Culley91]

Yeah I was pissed like bro he ghosted U….the hell with him

[@Thespicebomb]

What a terrible ending! Firstly Kat getting back with Josh and then maybe getting back with him after the trust - thst isn’t love that’s obsession. And finding the farm house was way too convenient and easy

[@louisefarrar6037]

For most of the show I was thinking 'this is okay, an enjoyable binge and intriguing story, but the greatest thing I have ever seen' - so bloody disappointed by the ending though. I was hoping for some comeuppance for all these characters who have lied and lied and lied and lied constantly to protect Kat - who was clearly a lot stronger and resilient than they gave her credit for - and also revealed themselves to be completely corrupt themselves in the process. Stagger has covered up the murder of a police officer, who was himself massively corrupt; Josh emotionally destroyed a woman he claimed to love to help build this prison of lies everyone else has trapped her in; her close friend lied to her (though I'm more willing to forgive Aqua given how she was nearly murdered by that piece of crap Clint); and her mother and all her parent's friends and colleagues lied to her or were covering for corruption. Yet there is no comeuppance for these lies. No punishment in some form. Kat seems just pretty happy to forgive everyone and thereby corrupt herself in the process. Atrocious ending.

[@anakinjmanu]

I’m glad we can all agree how laughable this plot was. It’s a shame.

[@ItsMeDylan7]

definitely the weakest harlen coben show on netflix but was still entertaining!

[@BrainPilot]

Yeah I know what you mean! Compared to Fool Me Once last year, this was nowhere near that level!

[@CandieP]

I was wondering why I couldn’t get into this one.

[@s.shep123]

It was entertaining alright 🤣🤣

[@ChaoticBluez]

I thought Fool Me Once was a lot worst.

[@jpes609]

Every episode starts and ends with a "I know I've been lying to you for years about this really relevant information to your case but hopefully I can just bombshell you now and we can forget about it" also "main character human trafficking sidequest that's not really relevant to the story at all"

[@Kai_Mx]

Lead actress was frustrating. Not the best detective as she is so absent minded. It seemed as though she wasnt interested in a case if it didn't have Josh name in it eg Rishi. The van took the boy and she couldn't memories the number plate atleast since she just stood there. Also so detectives in the UK not carry guns. How does someone just ghost you for 11yrs and you just forgive so easily. Thats some crazy obsession she had.

[@KpTheG]

I’m sorry I didn’t like this one…. He went missing for basically no reason 😅

[@follding948]

Yeah I thought it was going to be something biiiiggg then we found out I was like huh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 thats it

[@millleroyyy8889]

he literally killed his fiancé‘s dad, what other good reason could there be😂

[@lynncrosier7017]

I enjoyed the series, but I did feel short changed by them cramming the story into only 5 episodes. Like you said, they could have easily expanded the story lines & made it more satisfying overall had they gone at least 8 episodes.

[@TheAshy92]

Awful awful show.

[@stephaniesc7539]

I binge watched this yesterday😒 finished so late for no reason. Very disappointed of the ending! like wtf everyone just lied instead of saying the true about the dad 😓

[@GenX-Ellen]

I told everyone I know not to bother. Your review is spot on.

[@BrainPilot]

Glad you enjoyed the videeo!

[@littleeva]

I didn't get the old guy killing people because many dating scammers can extort money from people without laying a hand on them.

[@beatsbytr11]

It just felt like 2 different stories thrown together into 1 series with a meaningless connection between them (the profile Josh’s kid made). Most of Harlen Coben’s shows start with 2 or more stories all linking with one another which make you constantly put the dots together about how they connect right to the end and feels like a proper conclusion. This one however……yeah it’s definitely a recommended skip😂

[@Anyway_britnii]

Titus really made me ANGRY 😂

[@BrainPilot]

He was such a well performed character!

[@charhw2023]

Along with some of the dialogue throughout, this character was unrealistic…especially in his first scene.

[@anakinjmanu]

Your opinion at the end on the touching hands scene was spot on! It was laughable! Anyways if I have to see Richard Armitage again I’m definitely avoiding the show. Whilst he was okay in the stranger I’m sick of seeing him in every British thriller 😅

[@mhktraining7746]

How did Clint recognise Aqua from so far away in a dark alleyway? 🤣🤣🤣

[@Guesswhoswatching2]

Switch josh and kat, make the kid relevant by having her be pregnant before she disappeared, and tie the two stories together better and youve got a gem.

[@amlaaaa479]

All the other Coben shows were much much better. Despite having Pemberton in it - who was just brilliant.

[@torriebrown9607]

Poppa was a rolling stone for sure😮

[@marvelsProtege]

No way C5 where the bad guy has an unbeatable plan then 30- 15 minutes to the end it goes all wrong

[@prettyhurtz]

Omg it was the worst show 😮.Thank you for the review.

[@AprilT72]

Literally just finished it 🤣. Great timing.

[@BrainPilot]

Perfect timing! What did you think of the show?

[@AprilT72]

@@BrainPilot similar to you I felt like the show felt rushed. I would've loved if it had a few more episodes to answer more questions.

[@gcooper642]

I thought Titus was ridiculous. Like a Dr Who villan.

[@Ray03595]

I liked this one. The final twist isn't as crazy as his other shows, but fine with it. I was fine with the shorter episode count. All his shows follow the same formula and this time there were less red herrings b/c of the lower episode count.

[@mvelonkosi4950]

The whole series is based on Kat being too weak to handle the truth. Everyone close to her lied over and over again. The ending also feels unrealistic, sure they are both single and haven’t seen each other in a long time so getting together once is okay but then she should’ve been asking more questions about Sadie’s mum and focusing in more on WHY he left.

[@finleydean4]

but why was josh at aquas anyway?

[@dushaneweasley]

Watched this for Ashley and he's barely in it

[@BrainPilot]

Yeah I know what you mean! His dialogue wasn't written the best either

[@Lola-rn2jj]

Is he famous in England or something?

[@dushaneweasley]

@@Lola-rn2jj Feisty

[@Fumper27]

Terrible show Terrible casting Won’t rush to watch the next one

[@memuzzi1]

One of my gripes was that the character Stacey Embalo is supposed to be smoking hot, but as beautiful as Jessica Plummer is, she's not.

[@Thespicebomb]

Even I thought he had killed himself

[@appyguy]

I really enjoyed this short series. I do think that too much was thrown in in the last 45 min episode. I think the ending was rushed considering the slow pacing of the first four episodes.

[@susanclare]

A ‘Harlen Coben’ story is now a red flag for me. Wanted to like this due to Rosalind Eleazar from Slow Horses & great trailer music, but it was not 2 be

[@mattyboyb523]

This show was total junk!! If this is an accurate depiction of Harlan Cobins work then I am glad I’ve never bothered to read anything he’s written. I doubt that the case though, this whole business of Josh ghosting Kat for 11 years was just stupid. The story at the end didn’t save the BS that went on all 6 episodes. Btw, what’s the deal, for DS’s not carry firearms in Great Britain?? She never had a gun until the end when she got the bad guys. Btw, Fool me once was bad too but not as bad as this

[@hoztravels2024]

Maybe not put spoilers in the thumbnail

[@Billman0780]

Headline literally said “ending” meaning spoilers 🙄

[@georgeblair4797]

Boring show, I fell asleep.

[@Marsellasm]

Everyone calm down it’s a plot twist

[@trelefebvre5807]

6:55 not for me based on most Netflix shows.

[@shaneomack5018]

The last 15 min is absolutely 🚮

[@AgentAO7]

Quite disappointed with this. I love Harlan Coben’s shows. But this is not good. The Innocent is my favorite. It was a masterpiece.

[@davidvanhansen]

The worst Harlan Coben adaptation. The choice of actors is completely miscast, with the exception of Richard Armitage, Steve Pemberton and James Nesbitt. And the only good actors have the shortest appearances, and another good actor only lasts the first episode, but this is already clear after 5 minutes. The rest is reminiscent of a morning soap opera, with numerous logical errors and sometimes disastrous dialogue. It's a shame, because the basic idea is very good and with good actors it could have been something. Perhaps next time we should focus on acting qualities and not on supposed political correctness.

[@TheAshy92]

Absolutely awful

[@blue24563]

The storyline of this show was as predictable as its woke political propaganda

[@kimmkymmie7978]

Waste of time

[@BrainPilot]

It's a shame as I thought this would be a good show!

[@jonathanmcniel6483]

It's a woke movie with diversity, trans dudes and so on.

[@nataliebelousova3195]

Is it really need explanation? Are we really living in such a disabled society?

[@nadineblake9721]

The ending didn’t quite land 🛬 for me , but I enjoyed it

[@BrainPilot]

That's fair enough! It's easy watching for sure, but the story was just a bit too cliche for me!

[@jpes609]

​@BrainPilot that's the good part of this show, 5 episodes of cliche and backdrops. Great trash television
