It's a new series from the guy who created Downton Abbey.
The pilot is so paint by numbers you know what is going to happen in every scene. It even has that thing where you can tell who main characters are going to be because more work has been put in to make their costuming suit them perfectly.
Cons - Okay so idiot me thought 'Gilded Age' was Great Gatsby era. I swear I learned that Great Gatsby was about how rotten the gilded age was in school and it's been stuck in my head since. Since I am in a prohibition era fandom, I thought watching another show in the same setting would be amusing.
Pros - Hey, canon gay!
IDK if I will keep watching. There is a young lady who is uncommonly pretty, but was left with nothing by her parents. Both a rich man and a poor man have come to her aid and ... like I swear I read 5 books like that in high school lit class.
