The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change, of great conflict between the old ways and brand new systems, and of huge fortunes made and lost. Against the backdrop of this transformation, HBO’s The Gilded Age begins in 1882 with young Marian Brook (Jacobson) moving from rural Pennsylvania to New York City after the death of her father to live with her thoroughly old money aunts Agnes van Rhijn (Baranski) and Ada Brook (Nixon). Accompanied by Peggy Scott (Benton), an aspiring writer seeking a fresh start, Marian inadvertently becomes enmeshed in a social war between one of her aunts, a scion of the old money set, and her stupendously rich neighbors, a ruthless railroad tycoon and his ambitious wife, George (Spector) and Bertha Russell (Coon). Exposed to a world on the brink of the modern age, will Marian follow the established rules of society, or forge her own path?

27:27 – oop. she gagged her
Very fine production
Just waiting for season 2…
i love it. please make actor taissa farmiga a main character in this series!
This was really good.
I love how the Russells are loosely based on the Vanderbilts. The Astors were the old-money New York family in the 1870s and 1880s, having built their fortune on fur trading in the late 1700s and then real estate investing in Manhattan in the early 1800s. But the uncouth arrivistes with their nouveau-riche aspirations were the Vanderbilts, with their vast railroad and shipping wealth that had boomed in the 1860s and 1870s. The Vanderbilts soon supplanted the Astors in New York society with their much larger fortune, and their far larger mansions, with some veritable palaces. The first of these palaces was the one built at 640 Fifth Avenue, the one fictionalized here. Huge new ones would sprout up in the 1890s, including a gargantuan palace with 154 rooms on 57th Street and Fifth Avenue. This whole show is premised on how the Vanderbilts overtook the Astors in New York society in the 1880s and 1890s. It wasn't a pretty process. It was cutthroat and ruthless.
At 8:50. She looks like she's wearing a curtain, with all those tassels. Women's fashions of the late 19th century were so weird.
I’ve probably watched this 15 times!😅 Can’t wait until Season 2 October 29!! 💗
Are we to only have one?
Just came across this show a few days ago. And thankful for TikTok for putting me on. Counting down to season 2
Cynthia Nixon, the worst actress ever.
Thank you for your invite!!! I have subscribed! I love this! ❤
I'm disappointed. I adore Downton Abbey, so I thought I would enjoy anything by Julian Fellowes. This just has some of the same tropes he used in DA recycled into a different "world" with slightly different circumstances. Also, the actors have too much make-up on for that period. DA did a much better job of making the characters look real.
I think I'll go back to my British period dramas. I miss the accents. 🤭

God I do love Agnes lmao
lol the closed caption at the beginning has the SHEEP translation relating that the sheep are saying "what" "what" "what"
I wish I could afford hbo. This series is so interesting. I have been fortunate to view some historical houses including Biltmore.I have a fascination of the haves and have nots.
New to this show. Where can I watch all of them? HBO or here on YouTube?
The acting is so bad.
