Absentia

39Leave it.

A woman returns to a house that had to go on. The show prefers the torture to the homecoming.

The review

The human situation is serious: a child has been raised by someone else, a marriage has been buried, and the missing woman is not a symbol to the people who kept living. Absentia notes that and then reaches for the knives. You do not need the knives to feel the cost of a disappearance.

Leave it if anyone young is in the house. Grown viewers who want the family question can find it in quieter stories on this shelf.

Journal

Keep Absentia in the record.

No house has filed a sentence for this yet.

Live Historic number 39. Yours can differ.

The glance

Household and Piety and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

Consider this

Last Seen

50 instead of 39

Last Seen is still a crime show, and it scores 50 instead of 39. What you gain is household: The show centers a shattered home and the fierce wish to make it whole again.

The eight

5
Industry
She was an agent, and the job is why she vanished. Craft is not the interest. Damage is.
4
Household
A husband, a son, a new wife. The tangle is real and then exploited.
2
Piety
Suffering is the aesthetic.
6
Courage
She endures what should have killed her. Endurance is not the same as a reason.
4
Republic
The Bureau is compromised, which is the modern shortcut.
2
Temperance
Cruelty is graphic and repeated.
5
Truth
Who took her is a real question. The show enjoys withholding it.
3
Stewardship
A son needed a mother. He gets a case file.

Pass it on

Booba

39Leave it.

A few minutes of curiosity for a very small child. It is not a story.

Take controlThis scores 39. If you do not want Booba in the house, the steps are on Netflix. Block it

The review

Booba is a preschool sketch: no words, a creature, and the pleasure of finding out that a kettle is hot or a balloon gets away. For a very small child on your lap, one or two of them are harmless and even a little useful, because the world pushes back. It does not become a story. There is no one to be loyal to, and no one who is counting on him.

Sit with the child if it is on. When the short ends, hand them a real object and let them see what it does. Do not let a queue of shorts become the afternoon.

Keep Booba in the record.
