Gold Diggers

It's refreshing to see a show not take itself so seriously! And despite some of these other reviews, I personally love that it's a bit childish, and super crass - I feel like it appeals to us who grew up loving stuff like The Simpsons, or Anchorman, or Austin Powers. Yes those are old references, but those are things that appealed to my humour when I was younger and so does this. It's just fun. Love it. Great job.

The two main characters rightfully steal the show, these are some seriously talented comediennes.

And love the ensemble cast, particularly Percy and Fran. So many great one-liners. Worth a watch.

The reviewers who are offended by this series "authenticity" really crack me up. They probably watch Sky and Fox news and think everyrhing they say is factual.

This is such a funny romp in the Goldfields and behind the slapstick etc does touch on quite a few issues of colonial racism, misogyny etc. As I said in the title it's not meant to be taken seriously.

If you like shows like Plebs, Kath and Kim or Upper middle bogan then this should be right up your alley. Life is too full of serious stuff to worry about whether or not this series is factual or not. Take it as it is and just laugh at the satirical nature of the characters and the times.

If you like other UK comedies like Plebs, or US shows like Miracle Workers, this feels like the closest we've come to a home grown Australian version of these modern period comedies. Episodes are short and sweet and easy to chew through. It's fantastic to see some brilliant up and coming female and indigenous talent getting the airtime they deserve. It's not a deep and heavy storyline, but it does exactly what it says on the tin. Gold Diggers jumps straight in from episode 1 and sets you up for what to expect throughout. There are some great under-the-radar quick lines which had us laughing enough to require a rewind to hear what we missed. Looking forward to the rest of the season and hopefully seasons to come.

I am "old" - and I love this! Awesome acting, story, script and diversity of Aussie characters and cultures with long overdue respect shown to indigenous peoples - very entertaining plus lovely settings/scenery. Took a minute to adjust to the modern language and points of reference BUT possibly more realistic than we think? I absolutely love ALL the characters! Fantastic to see women shown as more than victims or men's possessions in a period setting. Wish I could visit Dead Horse Gap for a weekend stay - maybe someone could set this up for real - like Old Sydney town?! 😆 Like a laugh? Watch it!

Easy watching, entertaining, liked the contemporary references in a traditional setting.

Liked the music, cool contrast to the period setting, making it a little fun and interesting

Liked the quirky, witty feel and a little different from other series. I look forward to seeing where the story line goes and how characters are further developed.

Thought the pace was good, moved along nicely. Easy to watch and follow. Got straight into things. Enjoyed the Aussie landscape and setting.

Great to see new talent hit the screen, mixed with some familiar actors. Fresh, different

I'll be tuning in again.
