If you like disappeared you will love this show

If you like disappeared you will love this show. It's basically the same show but more modern. Very well done and deep. Uses local people who actually know the cases. Seems unbiased.

YES!

For reasons of this review, it's important at least to me to state that I'm an older white U. S. citizen. I follow series that document two specific kinds of crime: 1) unjust convictions; and 2) disappearances under unexplained circumstances. I've watched every episode of "Disappeared" multiple times. Forums? Subreddits? Public demonstrations (and more)? Done, and done.

NO disappearances have ever enraged me more than those of Terrance Williams and Felipe Santos. I had read a while back that Tyler Perry shared this rage for Terrance Williams. I was so happy, briefly. I thought people who knew--and there ARE people who know--would come forward because of Mr. Perry's celebrity.

Nope.

"Never Seen Again" is A+ for production values. Not a penny is spared. The cinematography (yes, drones and God-shots) is too "2020's" for me, too Unsolved Mysteries (Netflix). Other than that, the soundtrack, the narration, the scripting, the excerpts from recorded interviews--the quality is brilliant. The journalists and investigators who appear single-camera, as on "Disappeared" and "Unsolved Mysteries" (Netflix), are passionate about finally, please God, finally giving Terrance's family and Felipe's family the peace they deserve.

So glad to see the Calkins' interview broadcast. No one can say the (presumably white) interrogator went easy on him; and this footage should have been public long ago. Tyler Perry states early in the first episode that "Never Seen Again" is the first time the interviews have been public. Why? WHY?

If "Never Seen Again" maintains quality as good as it does on the most enraging missing persons' cases in this millennium, Paramount+ will have done a public service to the missing.

Excellent!!

This show is excellent. So informative, interesting and well put together. I hope many people are found. I've even been doing some googling to find out if there's any updates. This is a great way to bring the light to cases people like myself we're not aware of. I feel complete agony for the families, I can't imagine your loved loved one being out there and you have no idea whatever happened to them. I would think that would be the worst torture.

I'm hoping for many more seasons to get more people out there and more people aware. I highly recommend the show if something like this interest you. Of course I wish it was different circumstances.

Air time & coverage is so important

But why are you going to dedicate episodes to someone that abused the missing person, last to see them, took the hotel room key away, and didn't bother to listen to the last VM before pretending to look for them?

Victim left VM saying she was leaving, but perp didnt listen since she was outside so he went out there to talk. Perp made sure she didn't leave by taking hotel & car keys.

Where's the disconnect in logic y'all? She wanted away, he wasn't having it. If he can't have her then no one will, and now he gets all the attention & sympathy his narcissism needs to fuel his life. He cries about how hard he works to find her but he doesn't actually do any looking. He knows where she is, he put her there.

(The above is speculation & for educational purposes only.)

For anyone who likes true crime framed in political narratives

Warning: Spoilers
I love true crime dramas and this show looked to be right up my alley. A show dedicated to helping solve missing persons cases? I'm watching it and telling my friends about it! I thought for sure I'd love it

The cop linked in the first two cases absolutely looks shady as can be. The show lost me, though, when they started talking about Black Lives Matter and George Floyd. And comparing one of the missing young men to Emmett Till or anyone else who were victims of lynching just looks completely ignorant. I couldn't keep watching after that.

It's really unfortunate that it's not just a show about shedding light on missing persons and looking for information on their cases. The show is otherwise well done but will undoubtedly lose viewers due to their efforts to politicize these stories.
