Review:
Rating: Watch it / It depends / [Skip it]
  • This is an interesting topic with a lackluster result. While it balances interviews with reenactment, there are far too many pauses that feel like an attempt to wring out further emotional impact. The best episodes are the first two as they also interview the kidnapper(s) in addition to the victim(s).
    It's depressing subject matter that will make you think twice about traveling to countries with unrest or volunteering to help impoverished nations, but the stories quickly become quite similar.
