Band of Gold: Series 1

When it aired on HBO, this gritty British drama riveted American viewers with a pulls-no-punches view of prostitution’s dark, dangerous underworld. Now it will hook you, too. Knowing they’re outcasts from a society that alternately uses and rejects them, the women use strength, smarts and loyalty to survive on the mean streets of London’s red light district. In the first series, they band together against a murderer who’s begun to stalk them. Stars Oscar®-nominated Samantha Morton (Emma), Geraldine James (Calendar Girls) and Cathy Tyson (Mona Lisa). “One of the all time greats”—Daily Mirror.
