thank you for the positive history insight on black socialites. Some of us love The fuss and buss and fuel of American stories. It’s great to see a black one!
Agreed! I'm fascinated with this series, primarily because I grew up in NYC. I started listening to The Guilded Age podcast, and noticed several comments that Peggy and Oscar's characters are a form of "wokeness", and should not be "forced" in the storyline. This illustrates the limits of the American education system because I learned most of what I know about "upper class" Black Americans from my family, college level courses, and reading on my own like Mr. Fellows. Additionally, gay people have always been around, but obviously not out in the open, which is depicted in the story.
@@sparker7768 u know what’s cool tho. Sometimes I slip away from the tvs narrative and remember how racist American was/is… like I’m searching for evil or something… but then I get back into the story and realize they choose to tell a beautiful side regardless. U see all the black ppl dressed well. The creators decided to go a certain way instead of the other way and I respect that.
This show is UNDOUBTEDLY the best show streaming on the planet. I love the inclusion of the black Victorians. I'm usually not interested in always including different cultures for "representation's" sake, but this just works so well. I may be impartial because I love the Victorian era. Such a long span of time and so much movement. Thank you Mr. Fellows.
I agree with you. Had Mr. Fellows not taken the time to educate himself, Peggy's character would seem forced. We see that she was still being treated as "second class" despite her family's true standing, in a manner that was common at that time.
Nothing has changed - the old and new money are exactly the same today, in England anyway! Really loved the first episode and nice to see a NY perspective.
It's like that in New Zealand but I can't deal with it because New Zealand is so small and young a country anyway those people seem like petty little villagers. The old guard have 'tall poppy syndrome'. and it's supposed to be about egalitarianism but it is quite the opposite. Old families are incredibly envious of talent and skill.
America was supposed to be better. It’s one of the most interesting things this series details. We’d like to think we broke away from royalty and the class system. We really just recreated it in our own way.
All this shows imitating France France and France royalty!!!!!!! English wish to have 10% of the perfection that’s come from the French royalty!!!!!but I must say this is one of the best show , made very well !!! I love it because they made very authentic to history , I enjoy it very much !
THE GILDED AGE was the name of a novel written by Mark Twain in 1873 that satires the graft and the corruption that went on in the Grant Administration. It has nothing to do with the HBO mini series. I recently read the new novel and it was very entertaining. It should be reprinted so it can be made into a movie or a mini-series.
Well Lacroix was influenced by Worth and the gilded age, as was Vivienne Westwood. Corsets, bustles, tons of draping. Beautiful little hats. What I REALLY found impressive was that blood red velvet cape Bertha went to the concert in. That was very Worth AND Lacroix and it Killed me because it most likely took hundreds of hours to make that masterpiece and it was on screen for less than 30 seconds. GGRrrrr. It's said that there are only 75 seamstresses on staff for Guilded. I think it has to be much more. This is a huge undertaking because many of these gowns have to be hand done on a couture level. Then you have the millinery dept and the shoes and accessories dept.
Carrie Coon was 8 months pregnant and many of the costumes had to disguise that. Doubt we saw what the costumer designers would have chosen otherwise. We'll see in Season 2 though I hope.
The designs for Bertha are a weird mix of 19th century styles and modern details and fabrics. That's what makes them look more like Lacroix than Worth. I don't think you guys got the point I made.
The Gilded Age indirectly play a major role in nation development of Cuba via reporter one Jose Marti.He saw negative side effects in NYC society but had in his way of thinking.
I wish instead of showing the lazy stereotype of struggling African Americans this show had gone further to show some of the ACTUAL African American elite families that existed at the time in New York. An example would be The Downing dynasty, who literally created the concept of Oyster fine dining houses in New York City and were fabulously wealthy as well as patronised by the city's leading families and European royals.
Have you seen the latest episodes? They actually cover exactly that. In fact one of the characters assumes that Peggy is poor because she is in Brooklyn, and is in for a huge surprise to realize that she comes from affluence and so do those her around her. That's when the mentions of attending Howard University, holding businesses that are thriving amongst a few other things. Have a look again and see if you feel like that has been tackled, but I defo think it was. And there's more to come I hope. As someone who is black, and fun fact my last name is Downing, it was nice to finally see Black people Inc. in the show during this time era that wasn't rooted around slavery, or poverty. I personally hate those shows and it's painful and embarrassing that's the only time we get to be in things. Or unless we're slaves or some kind of drug dealer or gangster --So I get your concern. But let me know your thoughts.
Also, if you have any information on the Downing dynasty that I could read or at least point me in the right direction I'd be interested in learning. When I Google it nothing comes up
@@Skysdalimit247 Not sure the original person who made the comment saw the 4th episode where Peggy's family is shown. Hats off to Julian Fellowes for including a true and positive side of Black America. And also for pulling in black historians to help keep it authentic. I hope he keeps the positive focus on Peggy's character. Overall the cast is good as well as the series (he bases it on actual people like Ward McAllister and Mary Astor and her sacred "400 families").
@@ld1655 Honestly I never saw Peggy as "struggling", even from the first episode. Besides the way she presented (speech and dress), I believe we learned she'd finished college, and she had enough money to pay for a bus ticket for Marion.
She was new money, as Sky mentioned. She explained her designers were from Europe, not NY, in the first episode. They are period, just not conservative period. Bertha chose her fashions from Parisian up-and-comers, not the NY & London Old Guard. She wasn't about "fitting in," she was all about standing out.
@@srdfb2260 Aside from the obviously sexist and misogynistic claim you just made about her reason for success. Cynthia is a well known lesbian who’s been in a committed relationship with her partner for several years. Considering there aren’t many lesbian Hollywood producers for her to sleep with, I think her talent is what’s gotten her where she is. Or at the very least, a good agent.
Her acting credentials are impeccable! She is a well respected broadway performer, so unless you have two Tony's (Tony's are awarded by other other actors in the field) maybe your opinion is just that. Thanks for playing though
@@MikeA15206 Just because the elite gives you an award, doesn’t mean you are a good actress. She sucks in pretty much every she was in, and most especially, the gilded age. She is just a woke lesbian which makes her fashionable right now. By the way, most of my family members are of that persuasion and I support their happiness.
@@srdfb2260 Curious, what are your credential with regard to acting? Drama school? Film studies? Anything? Of course you are entitled to not like her but when these "elites" value her, it means the experts have. Wondering what you are an expert at?
How are those families facing financial ruin if they sold the stocks for a profit already? Make it make sense! If you buy a stock and it goes up and you sell it.. You MAKE MORE MONEY! Someone buying it after you sold makes zero difference to your money you ALREADY MADE
@@TheGenXer I alpreciate the insight. However they said they were already selling the stock which triggered Mr Russell to tell his guy to buy. Are you saying they only sold enough to trigger a drop so they could unload the bulk of it later?
They were shorting the stock. But Russell artificially raised the stock price so high the aldermen couldn't afford to buy back the stock they had borrowed to return to their brokers
Set Decoration: Totally wrong as far as the interiors of the "Old Money". They would not have highly ornate High Victorian furniture, but rather 18th Century as well as pieces right up to, but not after, The American Empire style. There would also be displays of fine China and many portraits! High Victorian would be trendy at this time and thought of as garish and "Jumped UP"! Amazing that snooty Fellowes would not realize this distinction! Class snobbery is often about what you don't (wouldn't) have than what you do! America adopted this attitude from The Brits. When ever you hear the phrase "so unpretentious" as a complement you are talking to "Old Money", or even, more likely, someone pretending to be!
I think you need to see more of the show. Those elements were definitely incorporated. In fact the last episode there was a tour of someone's home in one of the scenes and all those things you just mentioned were in there.
The set designer agrees with you, in an interview I heard him say he toned down to the High Victorian to make it more accessible to American audiences. Remember this is being filmed with considerations on focus and action requiring more emphasis.
This is simply a period soap opera it does not depict accuracy of this time. It is the story of fictitious Robber Barons and decline of the Mayflower reign, however, in terms of accuracy it simply tips the edge then walks from it.
You are right, but that is my problem with the show. Fellows is rewriting US history to suit his own political agenda. In the process, he’s undermining values that I hold dear. The real Alva Vanderbilt wasn’t new money. She was the granddaughter of an Alabama plantation owner. He owned 500 slaves, putting him in the 1% of the 1%. Alva spent the Civil War in Paris, because why should her family fight in a war to protect their “right” to own slaves. That’s a task for the 98%-ers! My ancestor died in a prisoner of war camp in Georgia, so I can’t share Julian Fellows love for Alva.
@@strawberryshortcake4342 A writer always "Borrows" BECAUSE they need to inject historical context in terms of gender, race, religious, and events of the period in order to tell a story. In this HISTORICAL SOAP OPERA OF THE GILDED AGE he is focusing on ROBBER BARONS and the MENATALITIEs OF the ERA. A writer who writes futuristic stories will "BORROW" context from the INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION you see this in all futuristic films from DUNE on. STAR WARS took content from NAZI Germany a writer needs content and context, therefore, they will look at historical figures, events, and study what motivated them and build characters. This writers of this Time Period Soap Opera did the same.
Hahaha yes New York was famously thought to be the dirtiest city in the world. People were farming chickens and pigs in their houses as it crowded up. That would be cool to see! But I think they are being deliberately glitzy and artificial by what Julian says. After working in a country club I did find the gilded age thing of middle class Americans pretending to be European nobility to be quite goofy. I think that Julian has captured the spirit quite well and translated very idiosyncratically British ideas to the American context quite well. And I think people understand that that is essentially what this is. It is taking that Downton Abbey idea and translating it into an American context.
That's true but I think the 5th Avenue was the exception even if I agree still too clean in the show, it was rare to watch a lower class citizen walking through the 5th Ave, they only went there for work. The same is happening right now in billionaire row in NYC, there's not a piece of paper on the street because that row is really the priority of the city if not the country.
maybe if it was lower east side with the immigrants and tenements, but this was uptown in the "nice part of town". this area was still being developed and not overcrowded at this time. they probably had people cleaning up the horse shit too lol
To the writers of “The Gilded Age:” the audience is smarter than you think they are. If Julian Fellows is burned out or short on time, hire people to help him. Or hire new writers who know something about social history, that shouldn’t be so hard.
I am very disappointed in the quality of the acting on this series. There is something missing in several of the performances. I’m not sure if it’s a directing problem or the performers themselves. Not sure I will continue to watch.
It is a wonderful show, however we have noticed a few script errors, for instance a character refers to Muslims, well back then they were referred to as Mohammedans. In episode six either Marian or Peggy refers to “making dinner”; they would have said “fixing dinner” . Why is the script not checked beforehand is a mystery. Also in virtually every film I have ever seen suitcases are always carried around, handed to someone else, loaded on transportation weighing absolutely nothing. Don’t film makers know full suitcases are very heavy ?
I know right?!? So much talking and nothing blows up. WTH? We need a superhero or a Zombie to liven things up people! Every costume drama needs that!!! Come on HBO? Catch up it's 2022.
I am so glad Mr Fellowes read Black Gotham.... there was a black middle class...and prosperous.
Thank You for including Black Gotham. One of the reasons I can’t get enough of this show.

Bertha's costumes look more like Lacroix than Worth.
