It’s been eleven years since Maggie, the daughter of Ian Ridley, a former detective of the police, has disappeared into nothingness, and since that day Ian’s life has undergone a – not exactly slow – decline. Obsessed with Maggie’s search, in fact, Ian has ruined his career, but also his marriage and, to top it off, even his mental health. After so long, this case seems destined to become a cold case, when suddenly a detail emerges that reopens a new and intriguing lead. Although he no longer serves, the man immediately launches into a private investigation, because he still hopes that his “girl” is alive and simply waiting to be found. Last Seen is an Apple TV series — starring Patrick Brammall and Brendan Cowell — which, in only 6 episodes, not only keeps viewers glued to the screen, but also delves into a delicate and significant issue like grieving without a body. If it has captured you, here is a short list of series you should definitely watch because they could match your taste.

Safe
Tom Delaney is a respected surgeon who became widowed at a young age. While trying to raise two daughters on his own and, above all, to keep them safe, the elder, Jenny, vanishes mysteriously at the end of a party with friends. In a panic, Tom immediately begins investigating to search for her, and thus discovers that everyone around him—neighbors, colleagues, and friends—harbor unspeakable secrets. Safe is a Netflix TV series from 2018 — featuring a masterful Michael C. Hall — similar to Last Seen since the protagonist is a desperate father for his daughter’s disappearance and is willing to do anything to track her down. 1 season and 8 episodes.
The Missing
During a vacation in France, the little Oliver is lost in the crowd that seems to swallow him. Years after the investigations closed, the father of the missing boy, Tony, who has never managed to come to terms, finds a new clue and decides to team up with a retired investigator to reopen the case. Gradually, shocking truths will emerge. The Missing is a 2014 TV series that for many represents the benchmark for thriller series focused on parents who track down a missing child. 2 seasons and 16 episodes, but currently in Italy only the first is available on Prime Video.
Scomparsa
In a quiet provincial town, at the end of a party, Camilla and her friend Sonia vanish into thin air.

However, the investigations reopen old wounds that have never truly stopped bleeding. Also in Scomparsa, a 2017 TV series with Vanessa Incontrada, the disappearance of a child shatters all the certainties of the family and brings to light the dark sides of anyone. 1 season and 12 episodes that you can watch right away on RaiPlay.
