I really wanted "Missing" to be good. And I really tried to find something positive to say about it. But ...
"Missing," which debuts tonight at 8 on ABC, stars Ashley Judd as a former CIA agent (she hasn't worked in 10 years) who travels to Europe to look for her son, who went missing while on a work-study trip in Italy.
For starters, there is not much about this show (adapted from the Liam Neeson thriller "Taken") that is believable. And even if you suspend disbelief -- which you must do in order to watch practically every other show on television -- the action looks fake, there is no suspense, the acting is bad, and the writing is worse. (I guess I'm just now realizing that Ashley Judd isn't an incredibly strong actress?)


I don't know how I forgot to add this to What to Watch, but NBC's nearly-canceled "Trauma" returns tonight at 9pm.
