My Take on the Series
Season two of The Gilded Age continues to captivate with its rich portrayal of late 19th-century American society, blending history and drama in a visually stunning series. Beginning in Easter 1883, the show explores the ongoing clash between old and new money, with Bertha Russell determined to break into the exclusive high society despite the resistance of Mrs. Astor and her circle. The eight episodes are filled with great moments, from labor unrest at George Russell’s steel plant to Peggy Scott’s evolution into an activist.
The series shines with exceptional performances and impeccable period details. The costumes are dazzling, and the set designs transport viewers back to the Gilded Age. The storytelling remains engaging, with well-paced drama and compelling character development. Each episode leaves you eager for the next, and the season ends on a thrilling cliffhanger that sets up high expectations for season three.
This Blu-ray set is packed with extras, making it a must-have for fans of historical dramas.
