Five Days (2007)
Released: October 2, 2007
Directors: Otto Bathurst, Simon Curtis
*****
Co-produced by the BBC and HBO, the five episode miniseries introduces us to one character after another from friends and family to journalists, cops, well doers and even the people responsible for Leanne´s (the mother) disappearance. Exclusively written by Gwyneth Hughes, "Five Days" tries to branch out from the normal police procedural by focusing more on the family than the nuts and bolts of the investigation. Yet, in the end, it is precisely this examination of the personal dynamic which ultimately leads to the downfall of the endeavor.
