    I'm pacing this one out. Wife and I are watching one episode at a time knowing it's a short run. Finished episode 3 and have to admit I got a little emo during it. So freakin' good.

    My only criticism so far is how the mother's character is in a constant state of complete distress. I feel like she should have another side to her at least part of the time.

    • I get it that her eldest son is the parent in the situation, but at some point I expect a mother turns from hysterics to focused action.monospaced
    • She's been working her ass off at that store for more than 10 years, her ex husband is an asshole, she's trying her best to keep her family together and...Maaku
    • her youngest is taken from her. Leave Britney alone...Maaku
    • and she's kind of a bad mother... I get it... I'm just saying she's quite 2-dimensional so far, that's allmonospaced
    • yep - Winona let's it down if anything but I think she is meant to be like that.fadein11
    • that's the movie though. The kids are the most rational characters that solve the mystery. Almost all the adults, save for that cop, are completely oblivious.monNom
    • It's a total 80's kids-save-the-day storyline.monNom
    • good point monNommonospaced
