Review of The Gone

The Gone (2023– )
6/10
Poor Sound, Looks Good, Cliched Storylines.
21 March 2024
The sound was awful. A lot of the dialogue seemed mumbled and we just couldn't work out what was being said. Throw in the accents as well .... You need subtitles really.

New Zealand dramas tend to pick up points just by virtue of the scenery and the settings. This is no exception, but it is still a 6.

The last episode just fell apart and the ending was frustrating. Were they leaving the door firmly open for a second series? Who knows, anyway I think The Goat Man was Bruce.

The bone crosses that were discovered in Colin Friends house was not explained. When interviewed by police the girl didn't mention the scars on the wrists of her assailant.

Why did Aileen go deep into the bush when she had a plane to catch? Clichéd lone female walking into danger.

Many other clichéd storylines.

All the profanities are totally unnecessary. Just write a good script and not rely on the F word for emphasis!! It adds nothing. Detracts in fact.

This is a contemporary drama and contains language and/or attitudes that some viewers, particularly those of a more mature generation, the Silent Majority, will find offensive.
