The Gilded Age

I'm surprised that two people on here have said they don't like the characters. I never expect to like all the characters in a drama, often I dislike many of them but still find a programme watchable and/ or interesting. This is a period drama and some of the snobbery, entitled rich or unpleasantness has to be put into the context of the period. As stories unfold, past history and life experiences are written in so we get to know why some characters act in a certain way. I think Christine Beransky's character is great to watch.

I didn't really think about whether or not I liked the principal characters. I've read Edith Wharton's books about that time and this series seems pretty accurate. It was a very strange time in America.

I'm about half way through series one but I'm struggling a bit as I'm not really finding any of the main characters very likeable.

I'm looking forward to another series and seeing what's happening to there lives. It's just a bit of escapism from the lousy weather.

I've really enjoyed series 1&2 - great story lines with stunning costumes & sets 👍.
Bring on 3rd series please 🤞

It must cost a fortune to produce. The clothes and the settings are so well done

I have thoroughly enjoyed the two series, and hope there will be more. The costumes are a delight and the storylines more than acceptable.

Loved the first series but I enjoyed the second even more!

There are so may stories. The black struggle and the union story as well as the 'downstairs' stories are good.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the two series. Hope there’s another one.

I’ve tried to like it, I’ve loved the clothes, but somehow I can’t get really into it, there are no characters that I particularly like, maybe that’s why.
