The Gold: The Boy You Were (2023)
Season 1, Episode 5
9/10
The net is closing in.

Boyce heads to Switzerland in a bid to learn the names of those that deposited huge sums of money, but he finds The Swiss laws on banking very strict, meanwhile Palmer tries to skip The Country.

So much happening here, that you need to be concentrating, but it is cohesive, tense and dramatic in equal measure, there is almost nothing to fault in this penultimate episode, it really is incredibly watchable.

One thing that's so striking, at every single corner, there is corruption, Boyce is trying to do things cleanly, by the book, but money talks.

The acting has been terrific from start to finish, but two performances really stood out here, Hugh Bonneville really got the chance to shine, he was tremendous, as was Dominic Cooper, who showed his true class.

The production values are terrific, not just the visuals, the clothes and sets, or the music, but the actual vibe, it has taken me straight back to The 1980's.

9/10.
