This just ended (10-11 PM EST) – just finished watching. Anybody else?
I liked it – especially the first 20 minutes, which was a pretty fast-paced intro. Nice style, good musical score to some of those scenes. I especially liked the intro to the Knapp character (Jeremy Sisto). Thought he played his role rather well.
I also hope Virgil will be back in on the action in later episodes – he was quite sharp, even if it was only the opening confronation.
I’m not sure how they can drag out a “find the kidnapped boy” plot to an entire season, much less multiple seasons, so I hope there ends up being a lot more to the plot. But I thought it was a good start, and only a little slow right at the end.
Anyone want to guess how many episodes pass before the kid’s ability to hold his breath for a long time becomes a plot element? (I’m assuming we’ll be seeing him throughout the season.)
Huh. So I guess not too many people here watched it then…?
I don’t think I’ve seen him in anything before. But I thought he did that role well. I liked the little pause when the mom asks “You’re not very good with people, are you Mr. Knapp?”
By the way, did anyone else first see this episode on the Netflix screener that also included the first episode of Studio 60 on The Sunset Strip? Because I did and I think the episode shown last night was a little different. I don’t remember seeing the scene with the kidnapped kid on the DVD.
Hmmm, the little bitty blurb I read on Vanished did make it sound like a similar kind of plot. But I didn’t see that, so I have no basis for comparison.
The first I heard of Kidnapped, if I recall correctly, was in the movie theater – I think it was several weeks ago when I went to see Little Miss Sunshine, and before the actual movie trailers started up, there was a trailer/ad for this show.
