J. Kelly Nestruck Globe and Mail Aug 6, 2026
It’s a testament to Morrissey’s acting skills that he manages to keep Michael unreadable over the course of this slow-burn crime drama, as the investigation turns from his colleagues to his students, and then back again to him. Go to Full Review
Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Jul 24, 2026
Myles’ Annie gets some of the series’ sharpest dialogue, and knows just how to twist it. Go to Full Review

This was nevertheless a great drama of misdirection. Go to Full Review
Kristen Baldwin AirTalk with Larry Mantle (LAist) Sep 5, 2026
'Gone' centers on the idea that there’s no greater mystery in life than other people’s marriages, and the show explores the many complicated reasons why women stay in bad relationships. Go to Full Review

5/5
There are only six episodes to discover what really happened to Sarah Polly, and it's impossible to stop watching after the first one... [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
James Croot The Post NZ May 5, 2026
An absorbing crime drama, a compelling battle of wills, Gone is well worth seeking out. Go to Full Review

Alain E @AlainE Aug 27, 2026 The buildup was very good. A little over the top that the investigating female detective has a family drama of her own as well. The characters are well described. The resolution is completely disappointing. The dead victim ignited many passions apparently. On the positives that we are not offered any unnecessary flashbacks. On Britbox. See more Tom G @tgates9 Aug 22, 2026 100% RT by critics? Omg, this was so hard to watch. Like being stuck in quicksand and can’t get out. Awkward, non-sensical script and just as awkward acting. I alternatively wanted to slap the hell out of Eve Myles character and Morrissey’s character. Completely implausible plot line….several hours of viewing I won’t get back. See more Ramina V @Ramram Aug 17, 2026 Way too long, they drag it out for no reason. It takes the main charactet two episodes just to say he didn’t do it .. what the hell writing is that? Not worth the watch. It could have been 3-4 episodes max. See more Danny L @Afshin11 Aug 14, 2026 As an American TV watcher, I must say British drama at first seems too complex and hard to follow. Since we seem to be used to our TV shows, which seems to be made for people to watch while scrolling on their phone. You do that with these kind of show and you'll never catch up. Had to say that, so if you do watch the show, you pay attention to it. And if you, you are hooked. The cast is amazing, and bring their characters to life. And the plot is one that can go in so many directions, and you never know, unless you keep watching. Now that I have gone through a few of similar shows, I am searching for more. But as for this show, you would love it, IF you pay attention. Put down your phone. It's worth it. See more A R @Roads.cx Aug 9, 2026 Way too long; should be three episodes at best. Writer suspends logic and reality by skipping over so many logical questions leaving you wading through muddy plot twists in order to drag out this mini series into six episodes. If you're unable to get out of bed for a few days then this might be a good watch Acting, photography, editing and general composition are good. See more Beverley A @RT678905342871 Aug 8, 2026 Good cast and enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
