I was really excited about Netflix’s #2 series right now, but the 31% viewership score is giving me pause

Although the new year has just begun, the 2025 television programming is already beginning with new sequences, such as Missing Youwhich can be streamed with a Netflix subscription. Adapted from the novel of the same name by Harlan Coben, the series centers on a detective who discovers her “missing” fiancé on a dating app more than 10 years after his mysterious disappearance. Not only is the premise hooked, but the detective is played by slow horses star Rosalind Eleazar. However, the low audience score might be putting me off.

Missing You was one of the first shows scheduled on the Netflix calendar for 2025, as fell on January 1. While I was excited to have a new show to obsess over, especially since it’s currently ranked #2 on the Prime 10 streamers, it doesn’t seem to be doing well. rotten tomatoes. Not only does it have 50% reviews on the Tomatometer, but the audience score is only 31%. I don’t usually read reviews of a show or movie before watching it, as I like to have my own opinion on it, but it’s a little hard to ignore that horrible score.

This horrible score really puts me off for several reasons. First of all, I was really excited about the premise of this show. Secondly, I was excited to see Eleazar lead the series, because she is great at slow horses (which you can watch with an Apple TV+ subscription). She has played Louisa Man in all four seasons of the great Apple TV+ series and in the fifth season of slow horses On the way, with a sixth season already in the works, I’m looking forward to seeing more of the cast in other projects while we wait.

However, there is no way around this, the score Missing You It’s disappointing and leaves a bitter taste in my mouth, especially since I’m a fan of its protagonist. However, I will continue to watch the show to form my own opinions, although perhaps not right away.
