The premise behind Without A Trace is not too far away from the Parable of the Lost Sheep. Some one is reported missing, and the FBI’s missing persons team swings into action. And like the Shepherd, the team on Without A Trace put everything on hold until they find, or find out what happened to, that person.
The way they find missing people is to try and discover what sort of person they were, so that they can figure out what they may have done. Using a timeline and whatever evidence they have the team carefully piece together the events leading up to the disappearance, and then figure out what happened after.
What sets this programme apart from the glut of crime dramas on TV at the moment is the sense of hope. The team never give up on hope. They are as positive as they can be, with a desire to find the person alive.
With season 2 currently running on TV2, it’s nice to be able to revisit season 1 on DVD. Not only do you get a perfect picture and sound, the proper aspect ratio, but you also get to enjoy it without the adverts.

Kai Li - You can get Without a Trace from Fatso, not sure about Video Ezy. As for me, I get most of my DVDs for free, as I do reviews for the NZ Baptist Magazine. I use Blogger as a way to collate my reviews, and it's nice to get the feedback!

I love Without A Trace. Of course, Anthony LaPaglia is awesome. The show also is a mini soap opera where you get to see just a little bit of their personal lives.
See him in Lantana, before that movie I didn't know he was Austrailian.

Now that was an interesting movie - might have to rent it again to see him play a different role!
