What happens if you put Mr Big together with a former Law & Order SVU / Cold Case detective and Glimmer from The Hunger Games? To be honest I thought nothing happens. The first trailer of Gone left me like "well ok another crime drama with borings characters, don't care" but after I watched the first two episodes, I was so caught up on this show.
First: Yes, it's a crime procedural, one case an episode and a "main story" in the background.
Second: Yes, it might be nothing new.
But: Don't judge this show too quickly. The pilot was solid, not brilliant or something. But the other episodes begin to build a really great story and we get to see a lot of interesting cases with well written plots and some plot twists.
But what really makes this show so great is the cast and the characters. Danny Pino as FBI Agent Bishop is so brilliant, I actually could have watched this show just for his acting. Leven Rambin does a really good work, too. Their characters Kick and Bishop are full of flaws and that's what makes them really catchy. And we can see the characters grow which I really like when watching a show.
All in all Gone is a really good crime show with a bit drama, a lot of secrets and mysteries, amazing actors and a lot of hope in every episode.
