Any parent’s worst nightmare would be that something bad happens to their child. That’s why kidnapping films and TV series have always struck a chord because the tension and emotions experienced by the parents attempting to find their missing kid are universal. Everyone can relate. But what if there is more to the story than just a simple kidnapping? That’s explored in Steven Soderbergh’s new series, “Full Circle.”
