Vicky Jessop London Evening Standard Jun 23, 2025
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, 2025
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, 2025
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, 2025
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, 2025
4/5
The real entertainment comes from supporting roles. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Jun 17, 2025
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

Per S @RT83737705 Aug 4, 2026 What was an interesting plot in first season has turned into a rather tedious and predictable melodrama. The Gold is still a good expression of the period atmosphere, but the writing is losing pace and credibility, along with the characters. Yet another overrated English crime series after all, I'm afraid. See more Melisa P @Melisa938 Aug 3, 2026 A proper rollercoaster ride with great characters, acting and real life to boot. Great telly. See more Margarita M @Marge897 Jun 12, 2026 Somehow they made the aftermath just as gripping as the robbery itself. Brilliant performances and not a wasted episode. See more James R @Jamie782 Jun 11, 2026 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, 2026 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, 2026 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 Read all reviews
