Wonderful variety but something missing
This is an interesting literary debut from Zinzi Clemmons, with many semi-autobiographical elements discussing her heritage.

Thandi, a girl of mixed race, has to endure taking care of her dying mother, all the while battling various social aspects of living as a daughter of a South African and an American parent. Written in different formats, from a text message to hip hop lyrics, Clemmons explores the rich tapestry of her life and layers it with various threads.

While I mostly enjoyed this story, I do feel there is something missing and could have been weaved together a little more clearly.

A transitional season really as the main character Sidney Chambers is only in part of it. Missing some of the other main characters from other series as well as a result. It's still an ok watch although it doesn't quite have the feeling of the other earlier series.

Who knew that your search history would be the key to finding you if you went missing? Searching (2018) #Review
Literally bringing small screen drama to the big screen, social media POV thriller “Searching” may be the most slyly political movie of 2018. FULL REVIEW: http://bit.ly/CraggusSearching

A bit silly
I will be honest I was dissapointed. There was a lot of darkness missing and a lot of over the top silliness. To be this murderous and crazy you need a dark and twisted mind. Let's explore that a little bit.
