I didn't mind Doakes just because he was the only one that added any kind of plausibility to the show.
One is fun, two and three get tiresome, season four gets great because there's finally some accountability to his actions, and then it slowly devolves into a pile of hot elephant turds.
I've sped through The Missing in the last week. It's just 8 episodes I tivo'd when I had Starz for a free preview weekend. It had me hooked from the start. I couldn't imagine being a parent and losing your child and not knowing what happened to him. I'd recommend it. There's some red herrings, as w/ any mystery show, but it really kept them few and far between.

During the recent "Twin Peaks" U.K. Festival in London, Sheryl Lee, who played Laura Palmer in David Lynch's original series, and Dana Ashbrook, who played Laura's boyfriend Bobby, revealed they are returning for the 2016 series. According to the fan site Welcome to Twin Peaks, Lee said she received a call from Lynch on her way to the festival telling her that she and Ashbrook would appear in the new series. Ashbrook made the announcement during the festival, much to the fans' excitement, revealing that Sherilyn Fenn, who played Audrey Horne, may also be returning.
I watch all their shows via Hulu or Amazon, so it didn't hit me until recently that Comedy Central is kicking ass these days. Daily Show, Colbert until now, Amy Schumer, Key and Peele, and Broad City. Probably a couple others I'm not thinking of or haven't seen.
One of the few networks I can think of that's actually improved over the last decade.
