What is Found (TV) About?
Found is a thought-provoking procedural drama television series that debuted on NBC, exploring the complex realm of missing persons in the United States. The narrative centers around Gabrielle 'Gabi' Mosley, portrayed by Shanola Hampton, a PR specialist and former missing person. Mosley heads a crisis management team that dedicates itself to finding neglected missing individuals, with a particular emphasis on those of color who often receive less attention from the authorities. The team is uniquely composed of individuals who either have personal experiences with abduction or have lost loved ones to kidnapping, which adds depth and authenticity to their mission. What sets Mosley apart and adds a layer of intrigue to the series is the dark secret she conceals. She has taken justice into her own hands by capturing and secretly detaining the man who once abducted her, using his criminal insight to aid in solving cases. This secret, if exposed, threatens to unravel not only Mosley's professional endeavors but also her very sense of self. Created by Nkechi Okoro Carroll, the show combines elements of drama and mystery, offering viewers a blend of emotionally charged storytelling and suspenseful twists. In addition to captivating its audience, Found shines a light on broader social issues and the systemic shortcomings related to missing person cases. The series has been well-received, leading to its renewal for a second season.
