Gold Digger

The main protagonist was easy on the eye. Let's get that out of the way.

I was thrown into this romance. But just like any whirlwind romance the mysterious love affair asked as many questions as it answered along the way. An emotional journey as in real life. Do you really ever know someone?

Clever. Every twist was plausible. But did I want to believe? Because he was so handsome, I did.

Very cleverly told.

It's an amazing in depth drama yet again by the BCC, ignore the bad Reviews give it a watch it's well worth it!

Could it possibly be that a younger man has fallen in love with a well off, mature woman, could his motives possibly be good, or is he simply after her for her money, is he a Gold Digger?

I've read some of the reviews with interest, it's far from perfect, but it is very good, it's worth your time. You will feel annoyed, irritated, you'll assume Julia is living in the clouds, unable to see that the young man she's set to marry is after her for her money, you'll be made to wait a long time to get the answers that you need.

It is very well acted, and deals with some pretty major themes, not just the question of inheritance, we see domestic violence, alcoholism, problems with sexuality, there's a lot here.

One or two of the episodes are a little slow, but when it's good, it's very good, the finale is excellent.

I hope they leave it here, at just the one series, it's a good story, well told, we don't need chapter two.

Very good, 8/10.

It had a promising first few episodes. I was still in for the long run in the middle. And then it went full-on to hell in a hand basket in the last few episodes. I only have so much suspension of disbelief to go around. The script quickly became utterly ridiculous and unbelievable. Such a shame. Julia Ormond is consistently good throughout - but some of the dialogue and situations she's given, it's amazing she could keep a straight face. This was a wasted opportunity to tell a realistic story about love (or even just a tense thriller) revolving around a woman in her second act.

Loved this story, an older woman meets a much younger man. They get along but it's clear from the beginning things are not all that they seem. Her grown up kids are messed up & hostile. Benjamin has secrets but hes not the only one hiding something. Worth a watch.
