Missing

Missing has quietly become one of the more dependable crime dramas currently available in Australia on Bloodstream, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Hulu. It knows exactly what kind of film it is from the opening scene, and never loses that thread. Its 7/10 TMDB score, built from 1,303 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Watch Storm Reid work — the performance is a masterclass in restraint. Put it on tonight on Bloodstream and see for yourself.

Missing is not trying to be everything to everyone, and that focus is exactly what makes it work. The plotting in Missing is tight enough that the twists feel earned rather than assembled. When her mother disappears while on vacation in Colombia with her new boyfriend, June’s search for answers is hindered by international red tape. Stuck thousands of miles away in Los Angeles, June creatively uses all the latest technology at her fingertips to try and find her before it’s too late. But as she digs deeper, her digital sleuthing raises more questions than answers... Storm Reid and Joaquim de Almeida lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2023. What makes Missing hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you cannot walk away from a good mystery, Missing will keep you hooked. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. Best experienced as a single, sustained watch from start to finish. Storm Reid anchors it, but the writing does the real work. If you are going to commit to one crime drama this month, make it this one.
