Based on the best-selling novel by Liz Moore, the crime-drama seriesLong Bright River promises to be an intense dive into a neighborhood ravaged by the opioid crisis. Created by Nikki Toscano(The Offer, Hunters), the series stars Amanda Seyfried, accompanied by Nicholas Pinnock and Ashleigh Cummings. Part crime thriller, part poignant family drama, this production explores the complex bonds between two sisters against the backdrop of a police investigation.
La Rivière des Disparues will be broadcast on Max from March 27, 2025.
Synopsis: Mickey patrols a Philadelphia neighborhood hard hit by the opioid crisis. When a series of murders begins in the neighborhood, Mickey realizes that his personal history may be linked to the case.
In River of the Missing, Amanda Seyfried plays Mickey Fitzpatrick, a policewoman confronted with a series of mysterious murders in an underprivileged Philadelphia neighborhood. In the course of her investigation, she comes face to face with her own past, including the disturbing disappearance of her sister. The series blends thrilling detective stories with intimate accounts, in an approach that seeks to deconstruct the image of the police as heroic figures.
Creator/directorNikki Toscano aims to capture the dark world of Liz Moore's novel with realism and intensity, exploring both the ravages of drug addiction and family trauma. The approach promises an immersive series, driven by deeply human and nuanced characters.
Fans of realistic crime thrillers and psychological dramas should find plenty to like in this series. In particular, River of the Missing could appeal to fans of Mare of Easttown, which shares a similar approach to criminal investigation rooted in a strong social reality. Those who appreciate stories combining complex family relationships and suspense (such as Sharp Objects or The Killing) could also be won over.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a fast-paced, spectacular investigation with plenty of action, the series might seem too introspective and dramatic.
With The River of the Missing, Amanda Seyfried takes on an intense and striking role in a series where personal drama and crime thriller are skilfully interwoven. The adaptation of Liz Moore 's novel promises a poignant story, supported by careful direction and a nuanced approach to social themes. A series to watch for fans of immersive, human crime stories.
