      I love The Gilded Age‼️‼️‼️😍 I love that real facts and real people are incorporated into the show. It's interesting to watch how big names like J.P. Morgan and Rockefeller starting out and not being accepted yet by "old New York" people. I like seeing how New York came to be after the Civil War. I also love that I get see African Americans who actually had servants and did well for themselves. I love that I get the feel for how Downton Abbey was but in the American way.

However, I have watched all episodes and I'm hooked, and am enjoying the series very much. While I think The Gilded Age is very good, I do think that Downton packed a stronger wallop. By the way, as a person interested in interior design, I have to say that the furniture and room settings are fantastic!

    the most important reason is; this is the beginning of the corporate takeover of America, this microcosm of New York City Elites is responsible for all of the problems we are facing today as soveriegn human beings in America. I do really love this show, it is smart and beautiful although a few shades too "clean". I am in love with the architecture and the opulance of the set designs. Its almost like being ... home in a sense. Not the opulance but the period and the place. Of course, there were far more dark undercurrents to the real people meny of the characters were based on. Quality entertainment.
