I finally found a show to tide me over until Bridgerton season 2
I finally found a show to tide me over until Bridgerton season ii
While nosotros're all waiting patiently in our foot-tall wigs and cap-sleeved gowns for Bridgerton season 2 (no, just me?), a new period era drama might take enough complicated romances and ability-hungry socialites to concur me over.
From Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes, HBO Max's The Golden Historic period (one of TG's top new shows to sentinel for January 2022) is set in New York Urban center during the late 19th century. As the proper noun suggests, the show oozes the economic successes of the super-rich who preferred city mansions to country estates.
With the assisting railroad, steel and coal-mining industries growing quickly, the social scene is infiltrated by "new money." No surprise, the "old coin" families don't wait kindly upon the folks who earned (instead of inherited) their wealth moving in across the street.
I'm a sucker for historical fiction, particularly when it'south well-rooted in fact. The Russells, new money railroad tycoons, are inspired by the Vanderbilts, while the former money Van Rhijns supposedly descended from the Livingston family, who brought wealth to New York from Scotland and the Dutch Republic in the 17th century.
Meanwhile the Astors, an actual clan that amassed enormous power during the The Gilded Historic period, have terminal word in deciding social status and favor quondam money. Despite her many frenemies around town, the Russell matriarch attempts to win the Astors' favor. Lavish clemency balls, gossiping business firm staff, endless corsets and unlikely romances add color to the incessant social climbing.
The Gilded Age brings the Bridgerton vibes dwelling house
All the families featured in The Gilded Age are filthy rich. Every bit we peek within their Upper E Side abodes filled with furniture scalped from European royalty, I thought at that place's no fashion these orante mansions existed in the same New York I live in now.
Merely that'south why I dearest The Gilded Age and then far — it'south a taste of Bridgerton'due south elitism, but in a identify I phone call home. Frequent nods to singled-out neighborhood qualities or landmark namesakes capture what's different (or non) in the same city 130-ish years later.
The prove was originally birthed as a spin-off to Downton Abbey, merely as Bridgerton is one the all-time shows on Netflix right now, I'm glad HBO's response ended up being independent of Fellowes by period drama.
From what I've seen so far, The Gilded Age isn't a smidge as sexy or salacious equally Bridgerton, but the sinister side of status-seeking seeps into every scene. Rich people are ruthless when it comes to getting what they desire, and in this era, passing on a political party invitation is considered the well-nigh vicious snub.
Why yous should give the The Gilded Age a become
It's these subtleties masked behind cute costumes and my love of Christine Baranski that almost fill the Lady Whistledown-sized gap that Bridgerton left when I finished season one over a year ago. Once again, The Gold Age isn't nearly every bit seductive, and I spent a considerable sum of the show'south runtime Googling the era's history knowing I wouldn't miss a makeout session if my eyes drifted to my phone. Mayhap that's not a good matter, just it'll definitely tide me over until nosotros get to see more of the Bridgerton family'south rollercoaster relationships.
The Golden Age's 10 episodes arrive every Monday on HBO Max through March 28, 2022. It'due south perfect timing, as Bridgerton season 2 arrives on March 25.
