The Piper

Awful parents but a good story. Cop-Mom made just about every wrong choice possible lol

5 star mystery thriller ... with a caveat. The adult actors sound similar, especially Ali and SteIla. The accents might have thrown me off. I'm from the US. Characters listed below to sort out who's who, what's what. (ALI)- police detective; (STELLA)- Ali's sister, Ruth's guardian; (RUTH)- daughter of Ali and Stella's dead sister NAOMI; (KEVIN)- Ali's ex, lives on a boat; (IVY)- Ali's older daughter; (POPPY)- Ali's younger daughter, uses hearing aid; (ERIC)- Ivy's best friend; (PAUL)- Ruth's father; (SANJAY)- Ali's partner; (RITA)- Ali's boss; (BOBBY)- missing boy in/from 1981

Much of this was predictable, however, acting was great , story was solid throughout , I enjoyed every episode!

The story is entertaining (I like the interplay between the adult investigation and the kid one) and the sound design was great. If this is a stand-alone series, I think I’d take it down a star because the story feels still quite incomplete, but if this is just the beginning of the story, then I’m excited for the next installment!
