Police detective Ian Ridley’s life fell apart 11 years ago when his young daughter, Maggie, disappeared without a trace. Now working as a police dispatcher, the only thing that has kept him going is his implacable refusal to accept that she might be gone forever. When he receives a distress call from a teenage girl he is certain is Maggie, he will stop at nothing to find her and reunite his broken family, whatever the cost.

Geordie Gray The Australian 11 hrs ago
There is something satisfying about watching Australia produce a crime drama this handsome and ­assured, one willing to trust character and performance rather than wh*** itself out with rug-pull after rug-pull. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Sep 21, 2026
There are lots of levels of culpability for lots of people about lots of things. And I think that's what makes the show compelling to me. Go to Full Review J. Kelly Nestruck Globe and Mail Sep 12, 2026
Worth watching for Brammall’s fresh take on a reckless anti-hero destroying the family he’s trying to save and the underappreciate landscapes in the state of Victoria. Go to Full Review Jack Seale Radio Times 4 days ago
5/5
As the show’s heart, Brammall is effortlessly likeable enough for us to invest completely in what happens to him, despite knowing it will be bittersweet at best. Last Seen is seriously good. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba Sep 17, 2026
Last Seen is bleak as hell. But for those who find the bleakness of crime dramas strangely comforting, it's well executed. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) Sep 16, 2026
If the suspense doesn’t quite work, it does convince as a well-performed, raw psychological study of family tragedy and corrosive grief, and one elevated by a refusal to opt for a pat, tidy ending. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

S T @SMgolf 1 day ago Another good series spoiled by gay inserts, and f words, See more Kristyne P @RT75026165 2 days ago I really love it - one of the better Aussie shows I have watched. See more Gerry K @GerryK 2 days ago .Horrible, especially when Sarah walks up the stairs and tells the police would you like some tea after she was just going crazy wasn’t locked up or anything when they came back to the house and would you like some tea give me a break. just wasted my time and will waste your time. It is so ridiculous and the writing is horrible. See more Lawrence B @RT80000652 5 days ago This show is amazing, I typically don’t like these type of shows, especially the topic matter, which is dark. but holy moly I feel like I’m actually watching actual events. The acting superb. i’ve also never wanted the bad guy to go down more than him. I can’t wait until he gets his comeuppance. if anybody sees this, this is a real review. I watched four episodes and I’m completely hooked! See more Buff F @BuffFilms 5 days ago Australia's bid at a shot in the big leagues doesn't stick the landing. Starts off okay and quickly goes downhill. Main guy does his best impression of a leading man without quite getting there. Skip it See more Slick R @SlickReviewer Sep 19, 2026 Mediocre and slow. If you like shows without any twists in the plot then this is for you. See more Read all reviews
