Matt Roush says...
A three-part docuseries (airing consecutively) from BBC Studios tells the remarkable story of Tommy Thompson, an American treasure hunter who gained fame and notoriety after spearheading the successful search for the 1857 shipwreck of SS Central America, which was carrying tons of gold from the California Gold Rush when it sank off the Carolina coast. Thompson’s triumph in 1989 was clouded by legal troubles when 500 gold coins went missing and the explorer became a fugitive from justice, ultimately landing in prison.
