“Found” offers a solid take on the procedural genre — with several novel twists.
The new NBC series, premiering Oct. 3 at 10 p.m., stars Shanola Hampton as Gabi Mosely, whose high-profile, high-powered crisis-management firm, Mosley & Associates, finds missing people relegated to the margins of society (minorities, sex workers, etc.) and ignored by the public and by the press.
Gabi, who’s in her late 30s, knows from whence she crusades: she was taken at the age of 15 from her father by a creepy, bearded, impeccably-dressed man she called “Sir” (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) who held her captive in a locked, book-filled house while force-feeding her an education … on his terms (Shakespeare, science) and, literally, scripting parts of her existence with a healthy dose of emotional abuse.
Sir eventually kidnapped a younger girl, Bella, after Gabi expressed her loneliness — and, together, the two hostages suffered under his psychotic rule until they were able to escape.
