Now all 30 episodes of the thriller series are available on the streaming service, so fans can watch all three seasons back-to-back.
Viewers on IMDb have given the show a rating of 7.2 out of 10 based on more than 18,000 reviews. One user described Absentia as “outstanding,” adding that it was captivating and kept them eagerly anticipating each new episode – something they don’t often experience with other shows. They also praised actress Stana Katic’s performance.
Another viewer wrote that it was one of the best shows they’d seen in years and that they planned to rewatch it in a few years because they enjoyed it so much.
One viewer called the acting “superb” and said it was the best show or movie they’d seen in a long time. They recommended skipping it if you’re looking for typical, mainstream TV, but urged viewers wanting something different to give it a try, and expressed hope for a second season.
One viewer felt the series would have been better as a shorter, 5-6 episode run. They said it felt too long and they ended up skipping parts, even good dialogue and scenes. The acting wasn’t particularly strong, and was generally average.
One viewer pointed out that the most captivating parts of Absentia aren’t about solving the mystery, but the show’s overall strangeness. They especially praised the first season, calling it fantastic.
