girlshopsalone Review of Gold Digger

Gold Digger (2019)

Definitely worth a watch. Ben Barnes was brilliant in this

[8/10 · 2 July 2020]

Very well made mini-series. I found myself getting frustrated at Julia's character. I just kept thinking, "Surely a woman can't be that desperate?" Taking him back, kicking him out, taking him back, kicking him out? Julia's character kind of droned on for a while. She's a great actress, but she left me feeling very anxious, not much happiness in her character, same look throughout the whole series. However, it was refreshing to see an older woman not all dolled-up trying to get the young guy. The other side of the story was her ex-husband. I actually knew from the second episode what he had done to her. It was actually kind of a letdown to know there was not more to the story. I know there has to be a second season. I can't wait! I hope Ben/Sean turns out to be a good guy!!
