Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard Jun 23
4/5
Though this series lacks the authority that comes with being a heavily documented “true story”, this is still a romp. Go to Full Review Nick Hilton Independent (UK) Jun 17
3/5
The wash of creative licence and composite characters dulls the edge of this second instalment of The Gold, which might have been better off just focusing on the rise and fall of Palmer and Noye. Go to Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Guardian Jun 17
4/5
For the most part, it is focused and newly thrilling. And despite having no obvious ending to draw from in real life, The Gold manages to cobble one together, with gusto. Go to Full Review Barbara Ellen Observer (UK) Oct 8
The second and final series follows the other half of the money on an international trail that takes in the Canary Islands, the Caribbean and the Isle of Man, and it’s just as remarkable and off-kilter a watch. Go to Full Review Christopher Stevens Daily Mail (UK) Aug 5
4/5
The real entertainment comes from supporting roles. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Jun 17
Behind every great fortune is a great crime, and behind that a tasty crime drama, as long as it’s written by Neil Forsyth. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Margarita M @Marge897 2h Somehow they made the aftermath just as gripping as the robbery itself. Brilliant performances and not a wasted episode. See more James R @Jamie782 1d I thought season 2 was every bit as good as the first. I loved how the story expanded beyond the robbery itself and showed how far the consequences spread. The international money trail kept things fresh, and the performances were outstanding across the board. It never felt like a typical crime drama—more like watching history unfold with fascinating characters. Definitely one of the best British shows I've watched in a long time. See more Timothy L @t.linn Apr 13 I was relieved when the BBC decided to complete this story with a second season. That said, I did not find the second season to be as strong as the first. In the first, the characters on both sides of the law were compelling. This is less true in season 2. The writers seemed intent on making the villains less likeable this time around. (That didn't stop me from pulling for them.) The pace of season 2 is slower. At the halfway point, I found myself wondering how they could get another three episodes out of the story. Nevertheless, it was good to see how the story ended. See more Andrei D @RT74856639 Jan 27 It loses some energy and goes a little too wide with the investigations but it uses its time well and extracts some solid performances See more Flixster F @RT77094268 Dec 20 Not as great as the first part but watchable. "It's Brink's-Mat. It's never over." See more Edward L @Glyndower Aug 20 While the first season was essentially a drama-doc this is just an extended version of 'The Sweeney' with most of the action fictionalised and this weakens its impact. The casting is as good as with Season 1 with Joshua McGuire making a fair attempt at impersonating Tom Hollander who presumably was not available to take the role of Baxter. See more Read all reviews
