Gold Digger

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.

Julia Ormond was brilliant in this role. Very convincing that the younger man would fall in love with her. She wasn't glammed up just a natural beauty. Well written as episodes focussed on the point of view of a different main character each time. The lover, Benjamin was the subject of the final episode when we finally got the answers to why each character behaved and felt as they did. It was also a pleasure to see the beautiful Devon countryside as a back drop to the story.

Ignore the bad reviews and give it a go , I thought it has a good storyline and good acting too !

Honestly i enjoyed much. Its better than any other love story making now a days. All the character played their role very well.

Not all TV drama has to be Merchant Ivory, it can just be good and interesting, without the need for every reviewer thinking they're writing for Rolling Stone.....

This is not a unique story, young guy is after rich older woman (or is he?), but, I really feel the main actors worked hard to embody their characters, especially the children (though they're not kids). I'm a fan of Julia Ormond and at times, I'm not sure if she was just acting naturally, or so embodying the character she's a genius. I binge watched, which I never do, and I really enjoyed it. I would love to see another season, there's definitely scope character-wise, with perhaps a different storyline. I'm currently watching the last ep, and it hasn't disappointed so far.
