Anyone watch this?

I think this was recently added to Amazon's Prime list? Not sure. It was recommended to me by NYT's Watching (if anyone needs suggestions on what to watch, I think it's worthy to subscribe to - all I know is I can't keep up with all the suggestions!). The synopsis reminds me a bit of Room and The OA - but I haven't spent anytime watching it. Was just curious if anyone who has can give a review of it? I'm a sucker for British crime/thriller dramas, but it has to be a fine balance of not too dark but enough of mystery/thriller (Broadchurch, The Fall, Happy Valley, River come to my mind) to keep me watching. Thanks in advance!

I liked it. I was watching it at the same time as The Family so it was interesting to compare them. Both focus on the return of a missing child.

I am currently watching it, I saw three episodes. I can help but to think that it would have been much better if it wasn't for the British Crime/Drama stuff. We didn't need that police investigation about that other girl that we don't care for, we care for Ivy and how she will put her life back on track.
I can picture some big tv executive saying to the authors, we need more drama here, we need a shocking revelation for the end of each episode. No, we didn't, the audience is not stupide!
That being said, I still like it, 3.5 stars, maybe.
