I didn't think it was well written. Most of the situations from an investigation perspective were way off. The dubbing was awful. I watched it and wished I hadn't wasted the time. The way the children were handled by the officials was ridiculous and not realistic at all.

I agree with a PP that it was interesting that Hannah was calling some of the shots. Obviously not all since Nurse Rudy was killed. It would be interesting to see how she ends up as I don't see anything good in her future based on her trauma that she normalized. Jonathon is a sad character. I was angry that the grandfather did not try to bond with him.

Poor Jonathan. He broke my heart. And I can't believe the grandfather would take Hannah home with him, but not Jonathan - they just left him there, all alone.

Spoiler alert that's what I'm gonna say next gives hints to what happens in the show.
My thoughts are we are supposed to be left open to what happens going forward. We know that Hannah is not well and she will grow up to be a psychopath. She thought her upbringing was normal and I can see her trying to mirror her upbringing when she herself raises a family. Also, where will she live? Will she go back to her grandparents even though her grandmother is not 100% open to raising the grandkids? And what about Jonathan. He only opened up when he was separated from Hannah. What happens when they get back together, as eventually they will?
I thought it was more interesting that in the family group she was clearly calling the shots.

The two children were absolutely beautiful. I thought they had to be real life siblings but they are not. I wanted to take poor Jonathan home with me.
I didn't understand why Nurse Ruth had to die? And when did the villain put cameras in Jasmine's apartment? I get that there is a lot of suspension of belief here, but still.
Nurse Ruth had to die because she was getting too close to the truth. The question is, how would the villain know that? But he could have put cameras in her apartment anytime after she was abducted, or stalked her prior.

I'm still in the middle of watching, so I haven't read any of the posts - just wanted to say this is so hard to watch.

I thought the actress who played Jasmin was by far the strongest actor in the series. The rest of the cast was meh, but good writing kept it interesting.

And the girl was like a psychopath but then all ok at the end.
PP here. Yes, exactly. The writing got a little sloppy at the end. It was pretty meticulous until that final episode.
Different pp, the never mind one above.
Exactly, yes. From the moment they see the pictures onward. Up until then it was so on point. Really thought Hannah would bring final 'resolution' in the last scenes. And still don't understand everything about why they stuck with the glass. Like I get it, but just too far fetched to believe it was so essential to the story it had to show up in a million moments.
