2.5/5
Irish actress Denise Gough is giving a furious, fascinating performance in the new season of Andor, but even she is hard-pressed to make this British thriller about a missing child more than a collection of outrageous twists and wild coincidences. Go to Full Review Carol Midgley The Times (UK) 04/28/2025
4/5
Be warned, this thriller, based on the novel Playdate by Alex Dahl, has more holes than a moth-eaten jumper. But is it watchable? Yes, very. Go to Full Review Benji Wilson Daily Telegraph (UK) 04/17/2025
3/5
The tension in The Stolen Girl – and whatever else it is, it grips like duct tape – comes as much from these performances as from the plot. Go to Full Review Ty'Kira Smalls Common Sense Media 04/30/2025
This series is a solid entry into the mystery/abduction genre. Go to Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming 04/25/2025
3/5
Although its narrative could have benefited from some extra tightening, its snappy delivery and compelling central mystery are enough for viewers to want to see The Stolen Girl through to the end. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) 04/21/2025
3/5
The cast go for it, but it’s pure mini-break noir; I try to concentrate on the secrets and murk of the convoluted plot but keep getting distracted by the shabby Euro chic of the mini chateau. The Stolen Girl is totally absurd and strangely moreish. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Gracie C @tealalaine Aug 13 The series is based on the novel Playdate by Alex Dahl. I've not read it but the series itself is a pretty decent watch and as it goes on we learn a lot regarding the families. See more Nissa S. @NFS247 Feb 2 I see a lot of people hated this, but I thought it was pretty good. For free on Hulu, it's a nice little twisted thriller to watch. See more Jeff B @RT37667384 Nov 27 It just needed another dozen or so unbelievable plot twists in the five episodes to be realistic. See more Raquel E @raquelea 06/25/2025 It starts strong, grabbing your attention with a tense and promising setup… but it unravels by the end. What could’ve been a gripping story turns absurd and predictable. Not a total waste, but it definitely could’ve been much better. See more N. C @RT69386560 06/13/2025 Season 1 of The Stolen Girl isn’t bad, but it didn’t fully live up to expectations. The core idea is solid and there are some interesting moments — mostly the ones shown in the trailer. Beyond that, only a few scenes really stand out. Some of the secondary performances felt weak, which took away from the overall impact. It’s not a terrible watch, but I was expecting something better. See more Michael C @RT30266085 05/29/2025 The acting was good all around. Scenery good. The biggest problem is that this would have been more tolerable as a movie. It didn’t have enough content to stretch for 5 episodes. Plus with all of that the twists and turns feel more absurd as it’s dragged out. Then there is the ending which kind of makes you wonder — why did I even watch this? See more Read all reviews
