My dads name is George Russell, and that’s why I first started watching The Gilded Age. Names aside, I settled in to enjoy both seasons of this period series. Many scenes are filmed on Long Island where I live, always fun to recognize them. The acting could have been over the top, but it’s not. And it’s nice to see different classes and race being an integral part of the writing. 4.8 out of 5. Add a star or 2 if you like fashion.

I’ve just binged Season 1 of this dynamic show. The acting is superb - completely believable, even though a few plot lines are predictable. Societal issues are covered in a more nuanced way, and it points to the direct loss of local press coverage, and the rise of disinformation. Looking forward to the second season. Great ensemble cast.
