    This reminds me of Deception from last year, only not as fun.

    We got to Day 191.

    Just when I was guessing the next day would be 218, we go back to Day 1. :o

    The story has holes in it....on the spur of the moment she manages to persuade her dad to let her go to her friends instead of nanas but she instead goes off to town....and then on to loughlinstown....

    Makes no sense

    Social media is completely pointless for a show that aired over a year ago. It just takes one muppet to ruin it for everyone.

    Slow clap, RTE.

    from IMBD. I whitened it in case some dont want to know.

    As the days, months and years progress the mystery deepens, and strange and terrifying clues come to light, raising yet even more questions. The world becomes gripped by the mystery of the missing teen. What happened to Amber?


    Amber is tender, touching, and unflinchingly horrifying in equal measure. The storytelling is innovative in that it tackles the story of a teenager gone missing from many perspectives and over a non-linear time period. Each episode focuses on one particular character or set of characters, broadening out as the series continues, finally revealing how this one persons disappearance has an impact far greater than anyone could imagine.

    from imbd


    Nah. 3 more hours? nah

    this is Ireland's 'lost'.


    aint going there.

    How many days will we get to before Amber's mother appears on Liveline with Joe doing his best to make her cry on air ?

    The dialogue is sorely lacking. The one line from the first trailer is horrendously shoe horned in as well. It is all filler. It can only improve.

    Hopefully it improves tomorrow night, didn't really know what to think of it. The only thing that stood out for me was the days counter which got annoying.

    I'm posting here in spite of the nice rte lady suggesting I should do so on facebook and/or twitter. I started watching this with about 15 minutes to go. I have no real idea what's going on except that a teenage daughter has gone missing.

    Bar that it strikes me like a story about the sort of people who never have to think about putting the bins out.

    The characters are rather cold and clinical, I suppose that's the trend these days, with all the Scandinavian drama.
    Yeah, that's what it reminded me of.

    Thing is, they (the Swedes) have the landscape for it.

    Problem with this is that it's dragging out a one line story - for commercial reasons.

    The acting/directing etc is fine, but it's way to empty to justify the delay in story telling.

    Not me.

    Not after reading the imbd synopsis. definitely not. I would have watched the first 2-5 mins, but when I realised what they were doing, that would be it.

    Yep, having looked up IMBD, and seen comments in the 'discuss' section, I am not impressed at all.

    (I looked up IMBD after watching the first episode just now, which I thought was worth watching).

    OMFG.

    found more info on Yahoo answers. i have whitened my response below.

    Shocking.

    absolutely unforgivable

    I knew my instincts were right - in my comparison to LOST.

    nonsense

    Well, I won't be taking my opinions to twitter. As an RTE drama, it was all right - but no more than that. Deeply unsympathetic family, something horrible happens to them, they become even more unpleasant.
    For the first episode, they should really have spent more time bedding down the characters. The action kept leaping in unuts of weeks - stopping just to let us witness a phone call, say.
    I'll be tuning in tmw night but only because I'm expecting to have my mind blown by an amazing plot twist on Wed night...
