SPOILER ALERT
While viewers praised the gripping series, some felt a little disappointed by the ending, which saw Kat's ex Josh revealed as her dad Clint's killer.
Clint, who was a corrupt cop and having a secret affair with his lover Parker [Cyril Nri], had confronted Aqua [Mary Malone] and begged her not to tell Kat about his affair when things got violent. Josh walked in as the pair engaged in a struggle and ended up stabbing Clint.
The final moments of the episode saw Kat stroke Josh's finger as the pair sat beside each other, reeling from the latter's shocking confession.
Taking to social media, one person said: "Missing You on Netflix started so strong but wow I was very disappointed by the last episode.”
Another added: “What a letdown. I won't spoil it for you but damn! It had everything, intrigue, a good plot, intense, a guessing game & then, nada."
