This was nevertheless a great drama of misdirection. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Settle in for a quiet slow burn with this British thriller, which couches a police investigation into a missing woman as a battle of wills... Go to Full Review

3/5
The basic whodunnit question has potential and it does play nicely on the idea of how easy it is to judge a book by its cover. Go to Full Review
Adam Sweeting The Arts Desk Mar 23
4/5
The mystery (scripted by George Kay) will unravel itself in due course, but Gone keeps its grip on your attention with its interplay of character and situation as much as with the mere mechanics of the police investigation. Go to Full Review
Charlotte Ivers Sunday Times (UK) Mar 17
Pleasingly, Gone is a good example of the form. Go to Full Review
Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Mar 13
5/5
Morrissey's performance is mesmeric, capturing the dual nature of this brutally repressed man, displaying one persona while allowing us to guess at the other. Go to Full Review

Chris L @Chris462 Mar 20 Excellent! One of the best detective series we've seen in a long while. Well written, with characters well developed. We liked how the script picked up on such subtleties of everyday behaviour, as well as the originality of no big hero detective. A great watch! See more Leon H @RT13589101 Mar 17 David Morrissey is, as always, very watchable. Eve Myles is, as always, playing a really annoying character who breaks protocol, disobeys chain of command, risks her career and her cases by misusing evidence, breaking in without a warrant and recording possible suspect without consent. It has plot holes, illogical and illegal police behaviour, inconsistencies and a killer who you could guess just from having seen so many other shows of this ilk - but still feels out of nowhere and unsatisfying during the reveal. I finished it but that's still not much of a recommendation. See more Edward L @Glyndower Mar 17 Poorly acted and written average missing person thriller. David Morrisey is as brilliant as ever but the rest of the cast give second-rate performances, Eve Myles (whose upper lip seems to have been mishandled by Ruth Wilson's plastic surgeon) whose performances have become increasingly worse over the last few years, does her usual argumentative chippy shtick, the rest of the time mostly walking around in a trance, with of course a stereotypical broken marriage whilst the victim's daughter is especially wooden, spending each scene sulking. One of the series's more annoying aspects is the illegality of Cassidy's actions: illegal searches, illegal recording while pretending to be a Family Liaison Office would all have led to evidence being thrown out in court. At least get the basics right. Dull and predictable. See more Read all reviews
