What is Vanished about & what to expect?
Vanished might be what fans of The Flight Attendant have been waiting for all along, only darker. Kaley Cuoco will once again find herself entangled with the wrong man. The official synopsis goes like this, via Amazon News:
"Alice (Cuoco) and her boyfriend Tom (Claflin) are enjoying a couple's trip to Paris when their journey takes a sinister turn. When Tom suddenly disappears aboard a train heading to the south of France, Alice finds herself thrust into a dangerous mystery that forces her to question everything she thought she knew about the man she loves.
As Alice searches for answers in unfamiliar territory, she uncovers layers of deception and shocking revelations that suggest Tom may not be who he claimed to be. The four-part series follows her desperate quest for the truth across France."
The trailer for Vanished hints at a paranoid thriller filled with intrigue, action, and, why not, stunning views from across France. The show's tagline says, "The search for the truth starts now", emphasizing how nothing is what it seems in Alice's disorienting search for answers. Vanished relies on a gripping, nail-biting concept and two amazing leads -- it's certainly a crime TV show to watch out for in February.
