If this is the end for “The Gilded Age,” bravo to the series for delivering two near-perfect seasons. But I do hope we’ll get to spend more time with these fantastic characters. Read full review

In its delicious Season 2, "Gilded" has its own debutante coming out party, establishing itself as more than a "Downton" duplicate and embracing the richness of the story it has to tell. The best elements of Season 1 are even bigger in Season 2. Read full review

The Gilded Age Season 2 is a fine, fizzy treat. Julian Fellowes has once again crafted a perfectly elevated soap opera for the masses. Read full review

Some storylines flow more satisfyingly than others, but it all passes easily and, at choice moments, humorously, as Fellowes goofs on the excesses of rich Americans and gives us Nathan Lane as a soulless hanger-on with an absurd drawl. The best reason to watch is Carrie Coon. Read full review

The Gilded Age Season 2 continues that fine tradition with a fierce rivalry over the creation of the Metropolitan Opera and a thread about the invention of a better alarm clock, even while bigger issues brew in the background. Sometimes, it feels like these characters aren’t just living in a different era, but living on their own planet. It’s a fun planet to escape to, either way. Read full review

The stakes couldn't be lower or sillier in Season 2, but the production values couldn't be higher. Ignore the simpering self-righteousness of the show's younger characters to luxuriate in the costumes, staggering interiors and barbed banter of the upper classes. [6 - 26 Nov 2023, p.9]

If the show gets one thing right, it’s that wealth does not confer intelligence. Maybe the series wouldn’t leave me so cranky if it weren’t both so dull and overscored, with quivering strings and heralding horns. Everything is about desire, absent interiority or human complexity. Read full review
