The British thriller The Stolen Girl is a huge hit for a UK streaming service, attracting viewers with its unpredictable plot and shocking turns. It’s based on Alex Dahl’s novel Playdate and centers around a girl who is kidnapped during a sleepover.
Elisa and Rebecca, both mothers, connect and arrange for their daughters, Lucia and Rebecca’s child, to have a sleepover together.
I was totally shocked when Elisa and Fred – that’s Jim Sturgess playing Fred – went to get their daughter from Rebecca’s place, only to find the house empty and their little girl gone. It’s such a scary thought!
What to Read Next
So, the police get involved after everything happens, and as a journalist, Selma – played by Ambika Mod – starts to get a feeling that Elisa isn’t telling them the whole story. It’s like she’s hiding something, and Selma’s determined to find out what it is!
The show originally premiered on Disney+ last year, and it’s now available on ITVX, where it’s quickly gaining popularity with a new group of viewers.
Since its release, The Stolen Girl has become one of the most popular shows on ITVX, reaching number 2 on their list of top 10 most-watched programs.
Critics have generally praised the five-episode series, giving it an 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 15 reviews.
According to The Irish Times, this story lives up to its reputation as a fast-paced, lighthearted, and twist-filled read – perfect for watching all at once, but not necessarily something you’ll remember for long.
According to The Guardian, the experience won’t be particularly memorable, but it will provide five hours of enjoyable entertainment.
According to the London Evening Standard, the show is compelling because of its realistic and sensitive handling of parenthood and grief, even if some plot twists later on feel less authentic. They described it as ‘addictive stuff’.
According to The Age, Denise Gough delivers a powerful and captivating performance in the latest season of Andor. However, even her talent isn’t enough to elevate the British thriller she’s also in – a story about a missing child – beyond a series of unbelievable plot twists and fortunate accidents.
The Stolen Girl is streaming now on ITVX and Disney+.
The latest issue of Living Legends, a vibrant, full-color magazine dedicated to Taylor Swift, is now available! You can find it in newsagents or order it online for only £8.99.
