    While there are a lot of scene of just people talking that don’t add much to the overall story, The Gold still paints an interesting picture of a massive accidental heist and its aftermath.

    The first episode in particular sets off with a narrative confidence – although it begins to drag around episode four – and the acting across the board is high quality.

    Watching it would feel like mental gymnastics if the cast wasn’t holding on for dear life. The show tries and fails to strike the balance between gritty and entertaining, transforming into an uninteresting version of itself.
