Only the first episode was made available for review at the time of writing.
It's a delightful and inspired departure from the grittier roles he's come to be recognised for (Sherwood, State of Play, The Walking Dead), although delivered with the same commitment as those performances.
He plays Michael Polly, the headmaster of a renowned private school in Bristol – the Range Rover and Latin kind – who takes Britain's stiff upper lip to an entirely new level.
Alana's concern is immediate – Sarah was scheduled to take a music lesson with a pupil at the house, so it's highly unlikely she's simply popped out to grab some milk.
She's desperately trying to get to the bottom of her mum's absence. He appears more concerned with the school rugby team's chances of winning the championship.

It's a chilling display from Morrissey. Michael's lack of reaction – which might instil confidence and calm in any other crisis – feels deeply unnatural here. And that feeling is dialled up to 100 at the end of the first episode, when he breaks the fourth wall in such a confronting manner, it's as though he's staring directly into your soul.
You'll find yourself wanting to look away, but unable to, such is Morrissey's hold over the scene.
Is that merely a defence mechanism? Perhaps her dad is simply a product of his environment, unwilling or unable to display emotion, however natural that would be in such difficult circumstances.
DS Annie Cassidy (Eve Myles) certainly has her suspicions, describing him, somewhat kindly, as a "funny fish".
Annie is itching to uncover the truth, and Myles does an excellent job of conveying her need, rather than just her desire, to uncover what happened to Sarah – because this goes beyond simply doing her job. It's personal.
During that time, Annie has grown close to Tina's mum Carol (Clare Higgins), who at the beginning of the series you might mistake for her own mother, before you come to understand the lay of the land.
The teenager was sexually assaulted and stabbed 26 times on her way home from a night out in Bath in June 1984.
Her ex partner Craig, also a detective, is keen to rekindle their relationship, but she's wary — and for good reason.
It's subtly done — although we anticipate that strand of the drama will escalate across the six episodes. And it also illustrates that no one, no matter how successful, assured or gutsy you might be, is immune. Domestic abuse does not discriminate.
Gone promises to be a compelling watch, but more than that, its exploration of MVAWG — particularly within the supposed sanctity of the home — gives it real staying power.
