This week on TV Gold, mystery dramas set in London, Rotterdam and Philadelphia.
Your hosts Andrew Mercado and James Manning review:
The Girlfriend (Prime, 6 episodes)
Task (HBO Max, 7 episodes)
Safe Harbor (SBS On Demand, 8 episodes)
• The Girlfriend (Prime, 6 episodes)
Based on Michelle Frances' novel of the same name, The Girlfriend follows Laura (Robin Wright), a woman who seemingly has it all: a glittering career, a loving husband, and her precious son, Daniel. Her perfect life begins to unravel when Daniel brings home Cherry (Olivia Cooke), a girlfriend who changes everything. After a tense introduction, Laura becomes convinced Cherry is hiding something. Is she a manipulative social climber, or is Laura just paranoid? The truth is a matter of perspective. Andrew called this “trash” and James objected!
• Task (HBO Max, 7 episodes)
Set in the working class suburbs of Philadelphia, an FBI agent (Mark Ruffalo) heads a Task Force to put an end to a string of violent robberies led by an unsuspecting family man (Tom Pelphrey). From the creator of Mare of Easton, Brad Ingelsby.
• Safe Harbor (SBS On Demand, 8 episodes)
Starring Jack Gleeson (Joffrey Baratheon in Game of Thrones), Charlie Murphy (Happy Valley), Alfie Allen (Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones) and Martijn Lakemeier, the crime drama is based around an Irish mob that are looking to make the most of Rotterdam’s drug-trafficking friendly port.
