Critics Consensus

A glittering cast is worth its weight in Gold, giving this posh caper plenty of compelling glamor to go along with its trenchant class commentary.

Nicholas Quah New York Magazine/Vulture [Delivers] prime cuts of the fundamental genre pleasures: criminals doing criminal stuff, detectives trying to stop them, and an entire vivid universe that exists between them. Jan 4, 2024 Full Review Judy Berman TIME Magazine If creator Neil Forsyth presses a bit too hard on British class dynamics, in earnest monologues that spell out themes viewers can easily glean without them, it's all in service of a stylish procedural that's gripping from beginning to end. Oct 3, 2023 Full Review Craig Mathieson Sydney Morning Herald This vast, unexpected tale is a masterclass: both engrossing and poignant. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 18, 2023 Full Review Ezequiel Boetti Otroscines.com In the best British tradition, the long game of cat and mouse that The Gold proposes wagers less on shock and grand reveals than on the construction of a complex network of relationships, interests, and loyalties... [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 4.5/5 Dec 11, 2023 Full Review Ernesto Diezmartinez Letras Libres The Gold, a British miniseries, combines the narrative of a robbery and the police investigation that follows, with the rise and fall of criminals punished by their own success. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 11, 2023 Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media The Gold manages to deliver all of this while still keeping viewers focused on how the crime story unfolds.

Gareth v An entertaining and extraordinary look at one of the world's biggest heists. If you're into true crime stories, you'll love this. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Flixster F Some series just go unnoticed. This was one such piece of gold. Based on real events, the story is nicely told. Thankfully (for me at least) it is told in a simple manner & not complicated (unnecessarily). Some of the aspects obviously feel exaggerated but it's 'based on real events' and not a documentary. Heard that they're gonna have a second season too. The first one is satisfying in itself but if they go for the second season, I hope that it's just as intriguing. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/03/24 Full Review Dave C An enjoyable dramatisation of a mega-heist with a lot of luck and a lot of character. Nicely cast, and well-acted Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/24 Full Review Bob M Over does the class war element a bit, but consistently excellent. Bonneville is outstanding. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/09/23 Full Review chris c Great mini series. High quality acting, writing and direction. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/05/23 Full Review Michael W This miniseries was really good. Hugh Bonneville, Charlotte Spencer, Emun Elliott, Jack Lowden, Dominic Cooper, Tom Cullen, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this miniseries. This true story about the gold bullion stolen from Brink Mat was dramatic and thrilling. It's about finding new ways of catching criminals and coming up with new ways to launder money. If you're a Paramount+ member, you should watch this miniseries sometime. It's a must see. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
