Review of The Gold

The Gold (2023–2024)
The absence of story
17 February 2023
First episode is promising. Then it becomes clearer with each further episode that there's not enough story to sustain a series. Instead we get monologues. Endless monologues. Minor characters given "I remember when" monologues. Hardly any crime. No story. Everything is eked out to an excruciating degree. Casting is very 2023, which looks odd in the period the series is set in.

It all looks great. Wonderful cast. But the script is lacking. It feels rushed and doesn't clarify key details, leaving you feeling like you've missed a scene or an episode. Probably a great 3 part series here. But a poor, repetitive 6 hours.
