The Missing Sister

Between the flood of true-crime and procedurals, The Missing Sister in Australia on Amazon Prime Video, and in the US on Fawesome is the one that actually holds up.

Katrina Begin sets the tone, and the ensemble matches it scene for scene. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Amazon Prime Video.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, The Missing Sister earns its spot.

What makes The Missing Sister hold up is that the resolution matters less than how the characters get there. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.
