THE GILD AGE GIV DOWNTON ABBEY FANS A DOSE OF AMERIN OPULENCEJULIAN FELLOW OFFERS UP ANOTHER GUILTY-ISH GLIMPSE OF LUDICRO WEALTH.BY RICHARD LAWSONJANUARY 20, 2022PHOTO BY ALISON COHEN ROSA/HBO MAXSAVE THIS STORYSAVESAVE THIS STORYSAVEWE ALL LOVED DOWNTON ABBEY. OR AT LEAST MANY OF WERE ENTHRALLED BY JULIAN FELLOW’S SOAPY MAIDS-AND-MANOR-BORNS DRAMA, A SURPRISE SMASH H THAT RAN FOR SIX SEASONS AND SPAWNED A MOVIE, WH ANOTHER ON THE WAY. BUT THERE WAS A BIG PROBLEM WH THE SHOW, ONE THAT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO PE: NOT ENOUGH AMERINS! CORA, THE YANKEE HEIRS WHO MARRIED TO BRISH ARISTOCRACY, WAS PRETTY MUCH . BUT EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, WANTS TO SEE MORE AMERINS THGS, WHICH IS WHY FELLOW HAS SOUGHT TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE.HE’S DONE SO WH THE GILD AGE (HBO, JANUARY 24), A NEW SERI ABOUT THE WORLD CORA LEFT BEHD TO MOVE ACROSS THE OCEAN. IT’S 1880S NEW YORK CY, WHERE OLD, PRE-REVOLUTNARY MONEY MGL, AND CLASH, WH THE GDY ARRIVIST MA FABULOLY RICH BY STEEL AND RAILROADS AND OTHER THGS THAT LURCHED THE PLA TO THE MORN ERA. IT IS BOTH PREQUEL, OF A SORT, AND PLEMENT TO DOWNTON ABBEY, MORE NCERNED WH LARGER SYSTEMS OF INDTRIAL AGE WEALTH AND PRIVILEGE THAN WH ONE LORDLY FAY. THAT’S FASCATG, AND DAMNG, HISTORY TO EXPLORE. BUT FELLOW ISN’T ONE TO DO TOO MUCH CRIL VTIGATN OF THE LAVISHNS HE SO ADOR. SO THE GILD AGE IS MOSTLY OTH AND LIGHT, A B OF PARLOR TRIGUE THAT FLS BY ENTERTAGLY AND WHOUT MUCH NSEQUENCE. THAT MAK MUCH LIKE DOWNTON ABBEY, THOUGH THAT SERI DID VEER TO HEAVY MELODRAMA ON OCSN.IN THE FIVE GILD AGE EPISOS I’VE SEEN, SUCH ATH OR MISERY ONLY BARELY OCCURS. THE MA TENSN OF THE SERI IS BETWEEN THE OLD MONEY VAN RHIJN FAY AND THE RSELLS, NEW MONEY RAILROAD TYONS WHO’VE MOVED TO A RECENTLY BUILT PALACE ACROSS THE STREET. ORPHANED AND PENNILS, YOUNG MARIAN BROOK (LOUISA JABSON) TO LIVE WH HER NTS AGN (CHRISTE BARANSKI) AND ADA (CYNTHIA NIXON), CUR ABOUT CENTRAL PARK EAST SOCIETY BUT SKEPTIL OF , TOO. AGN MARRIED TO THE VAN RHIJN FAY TO SAVE HERSELF AND HER SISTER OM , AND JEALOLY GUARDS THEIR FORTABLE PLACE THE CY’S HIERARCHY; SHE IS TERMED THAT MARIAN MARRY REFULLY AND WELL. ON THE RSELL SI OF THGS, CARRIE COON PLAYS AMB CLIMBER BERTHA, WIFE TO THLS ROBBER BARON GEE (MAN SPECTOR). SHE IS ROUTELY SHUNNED BY WOMEN LIKE AGN, WHO SEE BERTHA’S AMBN AND OPULENT LIFTYLE AS GDY TERLOPG. FELLOW IS EPLY VTED THIS NFLICT; EPISO AFTER EPISO SE BERTHA TRY AND FAIL TO BREAK TO THE NER CIRCLE OF MRS. ASTOR’S FOUR HUNDRED WHILE AGN AND OTHERS TURN UP THEIR NOS, OR WORSE. THE REPETN MAY GROW A B TIROME, BUT COON AND BARANSKI ARE MAGIC ENOUGH TO KEEP VTED.FELLOW TRI TO WORK SOME MORE PROBG SOCIAL MENTARY WH A CHARACTER, PEGGY, PLAYED BY DENéE BENTON. RACE WAS HARDLY MENTNED ON DOWNTON ABBEY, WHEREAS THE NEW WORLD OF THE GILD AGE PROV UNAVOIDABLE. PEGGY IS TED AND CLEVER, AN ASPIRG WRER. SHE SOON FDS HERSELF WORKG AS AGN’S SECRETARY (AGN WR A LOT OF LETTERS) AND BE THE EQUENT PANN AND NFIDANT OF MARIAN. AS A BLACK WOMAN A STRGENTLY WHE ENVIRONMENT, PEGGY IS CERTALY AN OUTSIR, AND IS TREATED AS SUCH BY SOME. BUT THE GILD AGE IS TOO NCERNED WH GENTILY TO GO HARD ON PEGGY’S OTHERNS AND ALIENATN. HER WELL-HEELED PARENTS, PLAYED BY AUDRA MACDONALD AND JOHN DOUGLAS THOMPSON, ARE MORE DISAPPROVG OF PEGGY’S ENTREE TO THIS UPTOWN ESYSTEM (THEY LIVE AMONG BLACK SOCIETY BROOKLYN) THAN ARE THE PEOPLE WH , WHICH DON’T RG QUE RIGHT. PEGGY’S CHOICE IS AMED AS A BRAVE AND PENNT ONE, AS IF IS ONLY NATURAL THAT SOMEONE SHOULD CRAVE CLOSENS TO THIS GLOWG NEX OF POWER.THAT ARHMETIC SEEMS A LTLE OFF, BUT AS THE SERI GO, PEGGY’S MANVERG OF HER BIFURTED LIFE GROWS MORE PLEX AND TERTG. MY HOPE IS THAT HER ARC IS ACTUALLY RRYG HER AWAY OM ALL THIS OLIGARCHIC AWFULNS, NOT TRYG TO GRATIATE HER TO . AS WAS TE OF DOWNTON ABBEY, THERE IS A MA-ISH GAY CHARACTER ON THE GILD AGE, ONCE AGA A MOSTLY CLOSETED SCHEMER AND HALF VILLA—BEE, I SUPPOSE, FELLOW IS GOG TO FELLOW. THIS CHARACTER AT LEAST IS SHOWN MOMENTS OF TIMACY WH ANOTHER MAN, GNIZANT THAT HE MT MARRY A WOMAN TO KEEP UP APPEARANC, BUT STEADFASTLY TERMED TO MATA HIS DISCREET LIFTYLE ALL THE WHILE. IS THAT PROGRS? MAYBE, THOUGH I HOPE HE DON’T GET STUCK THE SAME EDDY OF SECRECY AND NNIVG THAT TRAPPED DOWNTON’S THOMAS. MOST POPULARAND JT LIKE THAT… PREPAR FOR ITS LAST SUPPERBY CHRIS MURPHYRACHEL LEVISS SEEMGLY QUS VANRPUMP RUL WH HELP FROM BETHENNY FRANKELBY SAVANNAH WALSHRILEY KEOUGH ON GROWG UP PRLEY, LOSG LISA MARIE, AND INHERG GRACELANDBY BRT HENNEMUTHTHOMAS WAS A SERVANT OF THE TATE, PART OF THE DOWNSTAIRS HALF OF THE ENSEMBLE. THE GILD AGE ISN’T SO EQUALLY DIVID, THOUGH THERE ARE A VAST NUMBER OF DOMTIC CHARACTERS WHO BTLE AND OUT OF EPISOS ON THEIR OWN LTLE PLOT URS. THEY ARE, ALMOST TO A PERSON, PLAYED BY BIG NAM OM THE NEW YORK THEATER WORLD OF TODAY, ONE OF THE PLEASUR OF WATCHG A SHOW THAT’S BEEN ST BY BERNIE TELSEY. MOST OF THE ENTIRE TROUPE, HAV AND HAVE-NOTS, IS MA UP OF ACTORS YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN ON BROADWAY OR OFF, ALL TUCKG TO SOME CHY TV WORK WH ELAN. MICHAEL CERVERIS AND DEBRA MONK ARE HOEHOLD STAFF! KATIE FNERAN AND KELLI O’HARA ARE MEAN-GIRL ENEMI OF CARRIE COON! DONNA MURPHY IS MRS. ASTOR! AND SO ON AND SO ON. I DOUBT MY EXCEMENT ABOUT THOSE FOOTLIGHT NOTABL WILL BE SHARED BY THE MAJORY OF THE PEOPLE WATCHG THE SHOW, BUT THE THEATER EASTER EGGS ARE CERTALY THERE FOR THOSE WHO RE TO ENJOY. SIMPLE ENJOYMENT IS ALL ONE N REALLY GLEAN OM THIS SERI. THE GILD AGE IS NOT SEEKG TO PAT A HORRIFYG PORTRA OF AMERIN PLUTOCRACY, NOR IS OFFERG ANY SORT OF SEARCHG TREATISE ON THE EQUI OF RACISM, SEXISM, AND HOMOPHOBIA. THOSE SOCIAL ILLS ARE THERE—MORE THAN WDOW DRSG, LS THAN FOC—BUT THE MA DRIVE OR TENT OF THE GILD AGE IS TO TILLATE LIKE A GOOD GOSSIP SSN MIGHT. TO MAKE THE DIENCE FEEL THE GIDDY TGLE OF WHISPERED SNDAL, TO BE LULLED BY THE FORMALY OF UPPER CST M. IF THAT STUFF DIDN’T WORK FOR YOU WHEN DOWNTON REIGNED SUPREME, LIKELY WON’T AGA WHEN THE GILD AGE ARRIV ON MONDAY. AND THAT’S JT FE.
