This Irish-Kiwi co-production is a fascinating hybrid. It’s a gripping police procedural, elevated by the grandeur of its New Zealand settings and the inclusion of Māori characters and storylines, helping to differentiate it from your typical “serial killer” schtick. Though it has its own teeth-chattering murder mystery to resolve too…
The “Goat Man,” the person believed to be responsible for the infamous Mountain Murders, is a central thread that found Irish journalist Aileen (Carolyn Bracken) go missing while chasing her lead. Now the news has reached Theo, and season 2 finds him drawn back to the fictional town of Mount Affinity to aid in the frantic search for his former flame alongside local detective Diana. Though, even with their prime suspect collared, the killings continue.
“The Gone” has been showered with accolades. In addition to winning five New Zealand Television Awards, including Best Cinematography (ah, those jaw-droppingly vistas!), its depiction of Māori culture has been repeatedly praised, with The Guardian commending show’s “the rich, warm characters” played by Māori actors Vanessa Rare and Wayne Hapi.
The hunt continues! Catch the latest drama with the following viewing guide, explaining how to watch “The Gone” season 2 online in its entirety and 100% free with BBC iPlayer now.
