Ready Steady Cut

Girl Taken is an unconventional, slow-burn thriller that builds a story around the psychological implications of its grim premise instead of just the cat-and-mouse tension.

The Guardian

There are enough twists and reveals as the episodes unfurl to let the show retain its thriller title, but Girl Taken gives a lot more than that.

Decider

Girl Taken builds its tension in a straightforward manner, not through trickery or withheld information, and that is a rare commodity on streaming TV these days.
