Review

David Brown

The New Zealand setting may be a world away from the Dorset of Broadchurch, but is The Gone falling into the same trap of crafting a second series that feels a little superfluous? As in that ITV series, the creative decision has been made to chart the impact of the original crime on characters whose stories ought really to be over, including the recently freed Sinead Martin (Rachel Morgan), who’s seen in this opening episode wandering around somewhat aimlessly in search of a narrative hook.

Would it not have been wiser to let go of these supporting players and concentrate wholly on the search by Irish detective Theo Richter (Richard Flood) and his Kiwi counterpart Diana Huia (Acushla- Tara Kupe) for missing journalist Aileen Ryan (Carolyn Bracken)? It’s this possible kidnapping that should be the driving force, but instead it feels as though we’re also in the business of reheating leftovers. Let’s hope that the priorities shift in episode two tomorrow at 9.00pm.
