The viewers' only hope in making sense of it all is Baptiste. Our crumpled hero has found the missing before, made the impossible possible...and he can do so again.

Make yourself a cup of tea and bask in the comfortable, balmy familiarity of it all.

There seems to have been [a formula] used to create Baptiste, a spin-off from The Missing, and even the staunchest fans of Tchéky Karyo will be struggling not to see the all-too-familiar formula poking through the script.

Every minute that Hollander is on screen, though, in this tense, violent crime drama has been superb.

Hollander magnetises any scene he is in and thus far looks like the main reason to keep watching.

The ennui of the first 50 minutes was, surely, offset by the final ten minutes and a brilliant twist that I did not see coming at all.

I also loved Baptiste, but then I was always going to.

The dialogue has the flavour of a graphic novel that happens to be peopled by fine actors adept at applying flesh and blood. So it's worth sticking with.
