Five Days

In this British crime series, a mother and her two young children vanish without a trace. The crime becomes a media sensation and under the microscope of the investigation, the family begins to crumble.

The five-part miniseries stars some big Brit names: David Oyelowo (Selma, A United Kingdom), Penelope Wilton and Hugh Bonneville (both from Downton Abbey).

The New York Times says: “is riveting because it weaves the most familiar milestones of a major homicide investigation — the news conferences, police interrogations and family meltdowns — into a less predictable and intricately layered narrative that averts clichés without diluting the suspense.”
