Gilded Ages

Season One.

Maybe I should’ve taken notes, but I honestly didn’t expect to throughly enjoy this show as much as I have. Don’t think I’m going to give a full recap but its a really good show. Think Bridgerton but petty, and there’s no celebration for rags to riches. No celebration for pulling yourself up by the bootstraps. Either youre wealthy, and your family has always been wealthy, or its irrelevant. However Mrs. Russell is determined to be apart of the ‘old’ World, and will do all that’s needed to make that happen. With her husband in tow, there’s almost nothing she can’t bring for fruition.

In New York, In America, almost anything can happen right? A small town girl, can be throwed into the thick of NY high society, but what happens when her Prince Charming realizes, why settle for love when money is an attainable goal. In this same America, can a African American girl from a successful family chose to make her own path without any assistance from a family who do not support her choices? Throughly enjoyed this series, and although season two is available and ready for consumption, let’s focus on another show? Your pick?
