'Missing' - 'Pilot': Give me back my son!
What did everybody think of ABC's new Ashley Judd action drama?
Ashley Judd is ready to kick a little ass in "Missing."
I published my review of ABC's "Missing" on Tuesday. Now it's your turn. For those who chose the Ashley Judd spy drama over "Idol," "Community," March Madness, etc., what did you think? Did you appreciate all the attempts to remind us of her maternal side (including the gag where she tells the girl at the club to put out the cigarette), or was it all a bit much? Did you like the location filming? Enjoy the action? Glad to have Judd working again, or did you not miss her during her relative downtime? Thoughts on Sean Bean's latest method of dying? And will you watch again?
Have at it.

March 15, 2012 at 10:31PM EST Reply to CommentWell I guess I am the demographic -I wasn't going to watch until I saw Ashley Judd on " Live with Kelly" & she said they filmed at the real European locations-for that alone I thought it was worth watching. I liked it

odessasteps you and ashley both, probably.

March 16, 2012 at 4:25PM EST Reply to CommentYou and Dan hit the nail on the head, it is a cross between her movies of the early 00's and Taken and that is not a bad thing. Hopefully they can find a little more humor in future episodes

I passed on most of Judd's get-tough movies, but loved her in her breakthrough movie, Ruby in Paradise.

March 19, 2012 at 1:29AM EST Reply to CommentUnlike the situation w/ Falling Skies, I can kinda see the upsides Sepinwall spotted in his review. Like Falling Skies, though, I have to disagree w/ said review and cite this as the kind of dreck I've been expecting from the promos, and what I expect from an ABC show that tries to meld action and female pandering together.
I also have MAJOR problems w/ the action scenes and the way they're cut together. The logic of how characters wind up in one position after transferring out of another isn't effectively conveyed by the camerawork, and the editing actually further muddles things, as it feels like the edit cuts they made are dropping vital frames whose presence would help the scenes read better to the human eye.
Vaughn After Alan's review and the positive comments above I was sure I was going insane. I'm glad SOMEBODY is on my wavelength. What a terrible pilot. Shaky-cam action that was like Bourne on acid, clunky writing, horrendous overuse of green screens for every single scene, and a by-the-numbers plot. I can already tell the season's twists from a mile off (Bean is alive, Carradine is in on it. Could tell both of those from the first 10 minutes). Some of it was actually laughable, especially the lead CIA Agent character. And seriously, THAT is your cliffhanger ending? Oh jeez, give me a break.
