Feb 2, 2022What kind of gifts/chocolates did HBO send critics to get them to write positive reviews?
Based on the first 2 episodes, giving this anything above 50/100 is suspicious enough -
Jan 25, 2022The first episode with beautiful costumes, and sets was stunning. The acting however feels flat, and forced, and the characters unlikeable. It simply was not compelling. This is no Downton Abbey. Not even close.
Awards & Rankings

Julian Fellowes delivers must-see TV with an all-star, Americanized spin on his beloved “Downton Abbey’ and creates a glittering feast for the eyes and ears. Is the series more playful than profound, more froth than substance? Maybe. It's also perfectly irresistible.
-
The whole thing feels much too rote and timid for HBO—even if the costumes deliberately evoke modern sensibilities and wouldn’t be out of place on the ladies of And Just Like That, who are trying as resolutely to assert their relevance in a changing world as Agnes is. The mood is too saturnine, the occasional nods to social criticism too stilted.
-
“The Gilded Age” may not offer penetrating insights into the late 19th century, or the vast gulf between tycoons building extravagant empires and the poverty of those at the bottom of the economic ladder. Fellowes and his collaborators instead seem focused on maintaining a light, satiric touch. It may not be illuminating, but “The Gilded Age” is undeniably entertaining.
