Lena, Hannah, and Jonathan are being held captive by a man known as "Papa." One day, Lena and Hannah escape, and upon discovery, an older couple are asked to confirm if Lena is their child.
Strangely, despite the same name and right age, they don't believe Lena is, but Hannah? They say she has an uncanny resemblance to their missing daughter. Thus begins the search for answers.
"Dear Child" starts strong by throwing viewers into an unsettling situation and its first episode sets up a cliffhanger that leaves the audience wanting more.
However, over the course of 6 episodes, it can feel the show contains a bit too much filler, and things are not explained well despite each episode being over 45 minutes.
