  Couch-potato sleuths take note: Whodunit's have been replaced by, "Where'd they go?" shows. This season, it's the mystery of the missing extras, as several new series follow the trails of missing people. But only CBS's Without a Trace has high-concept creator Jerry Bruckheimer on the case.
Bruckheimer's newest detective drama revolves around the FBI's Missing Persons Squad. Like the oddball crew of science geeks assembled on CSI, this is a thinking man's crime-solving squad that uses smarts and not strong-arm tactics to solve cases. And despite recent real-life headlines, it's not just about people who've been abducted--victims are as likely to have committed suicide or run away.   Anthony LaPaglia stars as senior agent Jack Malone, a dedicated gumshoe. Like CSI's socially inept Grissom, Malone's at a loss when he's not hard at work. His special task force includes Samantha Spade (fellow Aussie expat Poppy Montgomery), Vivian Johnson (British film actress Marianne Jean-Baptiste sans accent), Danny Taylor (Enrique Murciano) and Martin Fitzgerald (Eric Close).
The agents race against the clock to find their victims before the 48-hour mark, when they're as good as gone. Like overly concerned parents who want to know exactly where you've been, the squad painstakingly reconstructs a minute-by-minute timeline of the day of disappearance. Television has taught viewers how to intubate and how to read perps their Miranda rights. The latest bit of boob-tube wisdom imparted is this: To learn where the victim is, learn who the victim is.  In the pilot episode, American Embassy's Arija Bareikis guest stars as a missing woman. During the investigation, a number of suspects surface, including her drug-dealing doorman, an office lover and an ex-boyfriend. Everyone's got skeletons, but when strung together, this series of bad relationships would make even Mother Teresa look like a floozy. The entire episode will leave you wondering if it's a case of foul play or a girl who just wanted to have fun.
Why It Works: Jerry Bruckheimer made forensic scientists sexy with his hit series CSI. He's about to do the same for missing-persons investigators. Why You'll Love It: Rockin' theme music from Linkin Park, grainy flashbacks that give you a glimpse of the missing person's last-known moves and a ticking-clock sense of urgency keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. |
