      Critic Reviews for The Gilded Age: Season 1

      Audience Reviews for The Gilded Age: Season 1

      • 3d ago
        Overrated and boring. This has none of the magic of Dowinton Abby.
      • May 23, 2023
        EXQUISITE AND OPULENT!!! A historical drama series created and written by Julian Fellowes (Downton Abbey) set in the United States during the Gilded Age, the boom years of the 1880s in New York City, and it follows a young woman entering the rigid social scene who is drawn into the daily conflicts surrounding the new money Russell family and the established van Rhijn-Brook family, who are neighbors across the street. Impeccable writing from Fellowes as usual, the performances were top-notch, including those of Carrie Coon, Morgan Spector and also Christine Baranski, who just sweeps through the witty remarks, and the costume and production design teams were just amazing, giving us incredibly stylish and sumptuous scenes. The series also shows conflicts faced by the Black upper class, and the domestic workers that tend to the different families and households. Even if it resembles the Downton Abbey dynamic, the differences between both cultures are quite evident and hilarious.

        Have had this series on my HBO Max watchlist for several months and finally got around to watching it. Very enjoyable and am now on my second rewatch. 😉

        I loved this show. The clothes, the houses, the writing, it was great. I hope there is a 2nd season.
      • Dec 28, 2022
        Such a good show with great characters. The plot was so good and it just kept on giving. Can not wait for season 2
      • Dec 27, 2022
        Series was almost discovered by accident. Initially, I didn't like the series, it seemed like a sort of "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch", but already halfway through the first episode, I found it a magnetic production. The series is very well done and not at all trivial, which unfortunately is common lately; it looks like a sort of Downton Abbey in New York sauce.

        Love the actors and costumes. Sets are beautiful!
      • Nov 19, 2022
        If you like period dramas, you will enjoy it. Interesting take on the historical elites on this side of the pond. Costumes look gorgeous, although some of it didn't look 100% accurate. Acting was very good. The only thing that irked me was the sets looked too much like obvious sets. The characters also didn't haul me in like they did in Downtown Abbey. For some reason, they were harder to create an emotional connection to. I'm still looking forward for season 2. It's a good show to watch to pass the time and enjoy the costumes.

        OMG. I thought I had a sure bet with a Julian Fellowes production but was I ever wrong. First, I was struck by the "wooden" performances. No one, literally no one, struck a positive acting note. EVERY single line was torturous- slow, drawn out and with NO emotion. Secondly, I was actually offended by the "woke" nature of the story. Obviously, the "writers" were putting forth their worldview, but it translated as boring and tiresome at best. So long, Julian. Won't fall for thinking you were a "cut above" ever again. Let's see if this review gets published.
      • Aug 27, 2022
        It passed the time only because Carrie Coon is particularly lacking in this role. I'm sure she's a good actor, but this role does not suite her, and she is a distraction for me. I wish they'd cast someone else, as I'd probably give this four stars. I do love a good period piece.
