The missing season 1 ending

The chilling season finale of The Missing is sure to polarize viewers with its out-of-left-field resolution to the disappearance of Oliver Hughes. I can't decide whether the finale of The Missing is one of the best or worst hours of television I've ever seen. No, I didn't guess right—I'm going to go ahead and say nobody did. But let's dive right into what happened and what didn't happen, ahem so I can get to my schizophrenically dithering reactions on it all—and give the series as a whole a proper sendoff. So, let's break it down here…. The opening: Like many episodes before it, this one opens with an eerie scene, the significance of which we don't understand until later. We're looking at a mysterious man harassing young boys on a snow-covered playground somewhere in Russia. Then, a spine-chilling image: the big-eared stick figure we've come to know so well etched on someone's frosty car window—a sure sign of Oliver Hughes. Could he have gotten trafficked by that Romanian gang and somehow ended up in Russia? The setup: Following the piece of evidence they discovered last week—a bloodied 12 years of sobriety coin—Tony, Emily, Baptiste, Mark, and Laurence zero in on Alain Deloix, the husband of Hotel L'Eden innkeeper Sylvie. And, sure enough, they discover that only one of Alain's 20 sobriety coins is missing: year They go to his hospital room—where Alain is dying of cancer—to get the truth.

Oh I give up

The Missing covered two timelines with the action cutting back and forth from the initial disappearance in to eight years later in when fresh evidence in the case led the investigation to be reopened. The season one finale gave audiences many answers they were craving but at the same time opened up lots more questions. Tony and Emily learnt what happened to Ollie directly after his disappearance with the child getting involved in a tragic hit-and-run. Ollie disappeared after his father was distracted by a football match with the schoolboy chasing after a fox, which had inexplicably wandered onto their hotel complex. Alain called up his brother Georges Deloix Eric Godon , who at first considered putting his sibling behind bars before agreeing to help.

By Christopher Stevens. Anyone who tells you they guessed the ending is telling downright lies. The final episode of The Missing BBC1 , the most baffling whodunnit of the year, revealed a solution that no one could have foreseen — and a twist in the final seconds that chilled our hearts.

Should've seen that coming. This seems like an easy way out, frustratingly random and simple. In some ways it fell short of the high standards set in earlier episodes. Starz, the US cable network which is airing the series to widespread acclaim, had already confirmed a second series with the BBC. That's it? And I think that's why the finale is so deeply depressing, dissatisfying, and traumatizing even. I was ready to be disappointed, bracing myself for an anti-climatic end. Measure content performance. But instead of being taken to hospital, the boy was moved to a safe house where he was found to be breathing. Our working assumption is that Olly was a victim of a paedophile. What a disappointment.
