1/5
This seems to be inviting us to laugh along as sexist and racist comments are made, pensioners are ripped off and private parts are dangled from pants. I didn't understand why it was even meant to be funny. Go to Full Review John Doyle Globe and Mail 08/30/2017
If British TV of a certain era and comedic style is your bag, you will adore this strange and often savage show. Go to Full Review Hanh Nguyen IndieWire 08/28/2017
Westwick, whatever the hell he's doing here, is always engaging, especially when he's looking viewers straight in the eye, and former Inbetweeners stars James Buckley and Joe Thomas have great chemistry as warring salesmen. Go to Full Review Ciaran Kerr Film Bunker 01/15/2019
I loved The Inbetweeners, but then I grew out of it. White Gold seems to have grown with me, presenting me with that childish love I had for a show full of penis jokes and gross-out humour, and turning it into something slightly more sophisticated.

White Gold indefinitely grabs your attention but let's just hope it gives us something other than Wolf of Wall Street in Essex. Time will tell. Go to Full Review Ariana Romero Refinery29 09/25/2017

a b @TheVoiceOfReason Dec 23 A lot better than I thought it would be, this is a very funny British comedy, that I wish they did more seasons of! See more harry t @HarryT308 03/21/2022 Entertaining, fresh, good laugh! See more 03/24/2020 Would be ok but the main character is so unlikeable it's hard to watch. See more 03/20/2020 Love James Buckley and Joe Thomas! Interesting series. See more 05/29/2019 The anti-hero, charming, super jerk Vincent Swan had me hooked in the first scene. I'm absolutely shocked I've missed out on this show for so long! With a stellar 80's playlist and feel, this dark humored, dick-swinging cast of double glazed window salesmen will have you struggle to not find comparisons to The Wolf of Walstreet's Jordan Belfort. Didn't expect to enjoy a character played by a Gossip Girl actor but here we are!! If you love those types of movies where the prick (who you hate to love and would never want to be friends with in person) comes out on top, watch this. See more 05/26/2019 the actors fir very good in their role, espacially Ed Westwick, the story is also good and reminded me a bit of wolf of wallstreet See more Read all reviews
