The Gold

It might seem at first like an elaborate "heist drama", but from the first moment it seems clear that the script has greater ambitions, and throughout its six episodes it is confirmed that it changes points of view while drifting towards disparate narratives and each ever more surprising. It is an excellent drama that uses the Brink's-Mat robbery and its consequences as a reflection of Margaret Thatcher's England, of the new money and the new rich ("That's how England works, they are the owners and we take it from them"). With a complex narrative structure built on a solid script that is perhaps too intent on all the characters making transcendent speeches in each episode.

How many times has this story been told?

First series was great! Good story, good actors, nice pacing. Second series (which is more of a 'what could have happened') still had some good moments but also some long wingy ones. Still enjoyed it. Good end tunes usually as well.

Show went full feminism in episode 2.

The female cop femalesplaining to her partner how she is a better cop than him and he should stfu. Then, telling him she's driving. In the 70s. Sure.

When they find the car they were following, the police chief (female, obviously) says "Woman driver" implying only a woman could have caught him.

They dont say "woman driver" when she loses him a few minutes later btw, obviously.

I quit after that episode.

One of the miniseries of the year based on a true event.
