Having watched Downton Abbey more than once I was quite looking forward to The Gilded age, the promise of luxury and beautiful gowns was fulfilled gloriously but the storyline, in my humble opinion is lacking. There seems to be no depth to the characters, well, as of yet, and the series is nearly finished. I've watched every episode and caught glimpses of stories only to be left empty handed in a following episode. I hope the next series is better, I can only hope.
