Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Searching (2018)

Recent widower communicates with his teenage daughter mainly through text, so doesn't immediately notice that she's gone missing. Once he realizes, he uses all of the electronic resources at his disposal to, hopefully, figure out where she's gone.

John Cho is quite good as an increasingly frantic father. Less good is Debra Messing as the detective on the case who sounds like she's on a knock-off USA version of Law & Order. "Cops & Consequences," maybe? I immediately had a theory about who was responsible and it turned out to be true, so that's not great either.
