Girl! I love love love The Gilded Age! I am fascinated with that time in history to begin with. I too am a fan of Downton Abbey and period shows in general. Milwaukee where I live has many Gilded Age homes, and as a fan of the architecture, I took a deep dive into the history of the time to understand the push behind the style of the buildings. It is interesting to me to see how new American money was able to hire the best servants that Europe had to offer! And yes...learning about the African American experience in this time was fascinating too! The old New York society was such a vicious place!!! I am glad I wasn't a part of that...I would have slapped a lot of bitches LOL! I would have spent the majority of my life in jail ;) It's a great show, and your reflections mirror my own. ❤
