    A new period drama brought by the man behind Downton Abbey, now here we have the old money v. new money plot with a certain temporal narrative that really lives up to its expectations, with an exceptional costume design, production design, and score. The cast is amazing, bringing everyone the best to the game.
    However the pilot can be a little slow, I believe with more episodes it can be    A new period drama brought by the man behind Downton Abbey, now here we have the old money v. new money plot with a certain temporal narrative that really lives up to its expectations, with an exceptional costume design, production design, and score.

    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.
