    Closest match

    ITVX · Sep 24, 2025

    The Hack

    IMDb 7.3

    Why this fits: If you liked The Gold’s cool, documentary-adjacent slow burn about institutions protecting themselves, The Hack delivers a similarly pressurized British investigative miniseries where journalism and criminal inquiry converge on the same rotten core.

    ITVX · Mar 29, 2026

    Grace

    IMDb 7.4

    Why this fits: For the same restrained, methodical crime drama feel as The Gold—where real-world consequences and moral ambiguity linger—Grace pairs a psychologically haunted detective with cold-case obsession and layered procedural revelation.

    Direct match

    Prime Video · Jan 21, 2026

    Steal

    IMDb 7.0

    Why this fits: To match The Gold’s true-crime gravity but with a more kinetic heist-forward edge, Steal follows a civilian pulled into high-stakes criminal machinery, keeping the tension urgent while still grounded in the human cost of complicity.
