What to Expect

PremiereLens read

The Gold makes the handling of stolen bullion as eventful as the pursuit of it. Police work cuts against the efforts of criminals, middlemen and fixers to melt the bars down and turn them into clean money. The pace is brisk, with menace and some violence, but greed, bluster and bad decisions give the crime drama a sharp streak of dark comedy.

Smoky offices, pubs, council estates and cheap suits give its 1980s London a scrappy texture. As the gold passes from hand to hand, more people learn about it, widening the circle that could expose the scheme. One connected story follows those transactions and their consequences, turning the aftermath of the robbery into an increasingly precarious exercise in keeping both the money and the secret.

Why this pick

The Gold briskly follows stolen gold through police and criminal circles, while The Hack takes a slower route through newsroom sources, old case files, and the personal cost of digging.
