Missing (2012)
How far would you go to save the only thing you have left in the world? At 8 years old, Michael watched as his father, CIA Agent Paul Winstone, was murdered. Now 10 years later, Paul's wife, Becca, is faced with the reality of her son growing up. When Michael is afforded the opportunity to study abroad, his mother reluctantly agrees it's time to let him go. Just a few weeks into his trip Michael disappears, and Becca immediately suspects foul play. When she arrives in Rome, she begins piecing together the clues left behind. It isn't long before the kidnappers realize they've picked a fight with the wrong woman. Becca Winstone has a secret of her own -- before Paul's death, she was also a lethal CIA Agent. But if she wants to find her son alive, Becca will have to rely on old friends and reopen old wounds. Her resourcefulness, skill and determination will be put to the test - but a mother's love knows no limits.
If you're an aficionado of action-packed spy thrillers, then 'Alex Rider' is a must-watch TV series for your list. Based on Anthony Horowitz's best-selling novel series, this British spy thriller has taken television by storm since its premiere. The show revolves around Alex Rider, an otherwise ordinary teenager whose life takes a dramatic turn when he learns about his uncle's mysterious death and his secret life as a British spy.
Intriguingly, Alex discovers that he has been unknowingly trained as a spy since childhood, setting him apart from other teenagers in more ways than one. He is then reluctantly recruited by MI6 to go undercover to discover and thwart potentially devastating plans. This forms the crux of the three-season drama that combines elements of action, adventure, family dynamics and thrill into one captivating series.
Apart from its intriguing plot line, what sets 'Alex Rider' apart is its stellar ensemble cast, led by Otto Farrant who delivers an impressive performance in the titular role. The show also features notable performances from actors like Brenock O'Connor (Tom Harris), Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo (Jack Starbright), Vicky McClure (Mrs Jones) and Stephen Dillane (Alan Blunt), each bringing their characters to life with gusto.
