Gone

GONE is a recent series about an FBI task force tasked with investigating cases of missing persons as soon as they occur.

Chris Noth, the ever-present Mr. Big from SEX AND THE CITY plays agent Frank Booth, a veteran who leads the unit and breaks paradigms by inviting her to be a beautiful young kidnap victim many years ago.

The idea is to have someone on the team who knows the subject from the side of the victim and who, after releasing by Booth himself, spent his life studying this type of case as self-defense.

The protagonist is the Texas actress Leven Rambin, seen in TRUE DETECTIVE 3 and HUNGER GAMES. She lives Kick Lannigan, still traumatized by the violence she suffered as a girl, but able to see clues and details that go unnoticed by other agents. Next to her is the great Danny Pino (from LAW AND ORDER S.V.U. and COLD CASE), a tense agent willing to solve cases as soon as possible.

The trio make up a fascinating team to be seen. Another point of interest is to see the diversity of cases that GONE brings to the screens. Screenwriters have to strive to create completely different cases to attract viewers. There are already twelve episodes of the first season, as there is still no news of a series renewal.

GONE is a great cop series with many new features in its genre.

Started off a bit awkward but it's getting its stride and turning into a great show. Hope it continues.

If you went into this expecting that Gone was going to recreate the wheel, clearly you're going to be disappointed. This is a standard procedural, and honestly, it's good! If you've enjoyed "Without a Trace," or "Law & Order," or "Criminal Minds," etc., you're going to enjoy this! It seems like the younger the audience, anymore, the less enjoyment they get out of this kind of TV. I get that. I still enjoy things like Teen Wolf (which had some sublime writing, and wonderful acting!), and The Originals (I always preferred that to The Vampire Diaries), too, so! I see the difference, and I see the appeal to both, it's just that procedurals are an old business.

I find Noth's "father figure" as the lead for this rag-tag bunch awesome. I've loved Noth since he was Mr. Big, so! You can't go wrong there. Where a few others have felt that the lead was over the top, I dare you to watch Blindspot or Quantico, or any of the hundreds of others with over-the-top leads! I don't find Kitt (or Kick) crazily out-of-control (she's still suffering from a mild PTSD, but unlike other dramas, the trauma of it doesn't just shut her down, and it's not something that's overplayed!). As a matter of fact, I think they sort of underplay it sometimes.

Regardless, another person had a problem with the hacker dude, and... I don't find him as cloying, but I can see the issue. It's the same thing as your Garcia's in Crim Minds (talk about an over-the-top character, though! She's lovable as heck!), or your Abby Sciuto's from NCIS! It's nothing that hasn't already been done, and it's important for plot dev, especially with such a skeleton crew. Seeing Danny Pino again (Law & Order: SVU) was a great surprise! He's so muted here, and I love that!

I know this show hasn't scored higher with other folks, but if you're a fan of any of the shows I've mentioned, just give it a try! I think you'll like it. =D

Was really looking forward to watching GONE, especially with the experience of Noth and Pino. The idea of a rescued child abductee being offered a job to join a Special Task Force Team only because she was abducted as a child, was a bit far fetched. But thought will still give it a go. And gee, what a drag Leven Rambin's character is. Sorry but her bad acting is just atrocious for the character she portrays. Being a self defence instructor is bad enough to watch, but giving a kid a gun that she has absolutely no idea how to use, she takes charge bursting into houses . Just cannot get past how this actress hasn't even been taught how to use a gun, yet alone handle one. A real shame as all the other actors fit into GONE superbly. Chris Noth is just so chill and classy, would be so much better if he was given more of the lead, I mean he is the boss after all.

Enjoyed the premise but disappointed in the acting of the female lead. How could she and her techie sidekick just up and go? What about her self defense pupils and where is the dog. Did the writers forget about that?
