Searching: Directed by Aneesh Chaganty. With John Cho, Sara Sohn, Alex Jayne Go, Megan Liu. After his teenage daughter goes missing, a desperate father tries to find clues on her laptop.

“It is funny to reflect on the earlier seasons of this show, when J.B. Fletcher was the darling of police investigators everywhere, and they had read all her books. A few years later – presumably with many more volumes to her name and investigative feathers in her cap – and we are treated to a very different paradigm, one of Jessica perpetually shooed away by inspectors who see her as both a rival and a meddlesome u0026#39;crazy ladyu0026#39;. That aside, this story is intriguing and complex, but without becoming confusing at any point. Italian characters are portrayed not without stereotyping. There are some lovely, subtle touches to the script in this opera- centered tale, such as a key protagonist getting mistaken for another one, much like it would be in many a classical Italian opera.”
