The Gold rises to the top of the genre for its keen understanding of pace and character, and the unique ability to weave various far-flung threads into a cohesive whole. It’s not easy, but they make it look that way, and in the process they’ve created one of the best crime shows of the decade.

From robbery ringleader Micky (Adam Nagaitis) to the high-level fence Kenneth Noye (Jack Lowden, of "Slow Horses") to the likes of businessman Gordon Parry (Sean Harris) and the crooked solicitor Edwyn Cooper (Dominic Cooper), who start laundering the money and buying up the waterfront. They're all vile, deliciously so. The cop-craft as practiced by the team of Bonneville, Spencer and Elliot is electric, never mind convincing.

Overall, The Gold was a measured and well-executed drama willing to take its time over establishing how the deep roots of this single crime became threaded through the British criminal underworld and legitimate businesses alike.

It would be unfair to fault a consistently entertaining TV drama for falling short of the gritty and gobsmacking truth. The Gold is also partially redeemed by a finale that manages to cleverly wrap up loose narrative ends, while acknowledging that the full story is yet to be told – and likely never can be

“The Gold” proves less compelling than “Hijack,” but perhaps more cerebral with a greater emphasis on character development and the stratified nature of England’s social classes.

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.
