The Gilded Age - Reviews

Another smart, lavish period piece from ‘Downton Abbey’ creator.

...relationships take center stage and nearly every one is balanced over divorce’s trap door.

Unhappy rich people — is there anything more delightful?

...Carrie Coon is vivid as the society-invading Bertha Russell; Christine Baranski is arch as snobby Aunt Agnes...

Another smart, lavish period piece from ‘Downton Abbey’ creator.

A Downton-esque delight with a 19th century New York twist.

...a pleasant enough distraction...

...the show's most satisfying and entertaining outing yet.

Julian Fellowes delivers his best TV drama since Downton.

...represents a marked improvement over the series’ first outing and concludes by leaving enough dangling plot threads to point the way to an even stronger third season.

This is the Russells’ season, and God they’re good.
