Is anyone keeping up with this new FOX series called Vanished?
It's all about Atlanta, I've never seen so much footage featuring our town!
Only three episodes shown, but I like it so far. Though it suffers from some of that "rapid cut" style, as well as what I think were hastily written scripts.
It has some real potential if it doesn't trip over it's own indulgences---some of which I like. There is a lot of action, and a lot of suspense that is precipitated by some bad choices that the characters make. Not a lot of exposition is given for the lead detective or his aids---we don't get into their private lives the way that 90's investigation shows tended to. I am not sure if that will prove to hurt or help. So far all three episodes are tied togtether, I think it's a 6 or 7 part till this story resolves, about the supposed kidnapping of a Georgia senator's wife, a shady Secret Society who watches everyone and leaves a Mysterious Number Nine Logo on everything it touches, and a crack high-tech team of FBI agents led by a pushy hardball agent, driven by the memory of a sting operation gone bad where he witnessed a young boy blown to smithereens by dynamite strapped around his waiste. And this is just for starters.......
Any thoughts?
