I have a deep desire to have the creators publish Peggy’s short stories. I love reading stories like hers, and linking them to the characters strife, as a fan, it would have been an honour to read them. While there are many stories out there, famously uncle toms cabin, but her stories seem to come from a less sensational view given her privilege as a wealthy person of colour for the time. I can honestly say, I love how all the characters are portrayed in this show, and I absolutely adore every storyline. I won’t miss the rake, Mr Raikes.

I do feel that story wasn’t quite solved nor completely solved. It feels unfinished. Perhaps not Mr rakes and Marion, more so destitute Marion, and her father’s lost fortune in relation to the Russel’s. there is untapped potential.

I adore Ada and Agnes. I absolutely love the relationship between Peggy and Agnes. Their stories lend a kinder view of Agatha. I love how Ada will now have some power going into season 3. Season 2 really was about sister love and loss. We really got to see. The love between the sisters and while Agnes is a tough lady, and proud, she is always trying to look out for those she loves. Sometimes, she fights the wrong battle, but I love how we see the sister grow.

What did you love about season 1 and 2? I could probably babble on for pages regarding each of my favourite storylines. Some episodes I watch back to back over and over again because so much is going on and I don’t want to miss a single exchange. The subside episode for example. Or the fundraiser episode. George Russel at his finest ❤️. What woman wouldn’t want her husband to treat her and look at her as George does to Bertha. The glances they have are positively beautiful, and really gives credit to the writers, for such an amazing script, and to the actors for their art. Finesse!

We're getting more scenes between Marian and Larry!

I'm hoping she will expand the house, maybe buy the adjoining townhouse, redecorate the entire first floor using items from her travels.

I support Bertha Russell's rights and wrongs. Just look at that face card.

About Agnes mentioning she has two strikes already regarding Raikes and Dashiell. Like how was it her fault actually? Sure, the Dashiell thing, I can see how it can be her fault (even though it was clearly not) but the Raikes thing was totally not her fault and it’s unfair to pin the blame on her like Agnes did. Anyone felt the same as I am about this matter?

And of course if Marian is to have her third strike with Larry, then surely must be because of Agnes’ not being accepting of Larry which wouldn’t be Marian’s fault either.

I just blazed thru S1 & 2 in about 6 nights. My least favorite character is Mrs. Winterton (née Turner). I know, I know. She's perfectly hateable. But something just rubs me so wrong about her character arc.

She's obviously obscured her past life in service... But where does she even get the gumption to try and rifle feathers when she is playing on a huge gambled hand to begin with? She has next to none of the clout or money that the Russells or Astors do. She is rude and speaks with malice to her benefactor husband. How could she possibly feel that's sustainable. Even at the risk of success, it's such a narcissistic outlook.

Why is she driven to assert herself when she has so much to hide? She should be counting her graces and thankful to be where she already has climbed to, instead of embarking on ever-aggressive catty maneuvering amid the POWERFUL women she already has rubbed elbows with.

P.s. - her fashion sense as a woman of money and taste is also some of the most dowdy, unbecoming looks among the others. Even old Aunt Agnes looked STUNNING in contrast. Winterton has such an incredible decolleté & neck, yet she always hides it.

P.p.s. - the actress does an amazing job at her endlessly aggravating character. Top marks to Kelley Curran.

I see Louisa has been posting frequently on IG but it doesn’t look like she’s on set. Anyone know if filming has wrapped for season 3?

So, I'm watching the show for the umpteenth time, and as a lover of historical fashion, generally I love the attention to detail and the recreations of extant gowns of the period, but I have a gripe with the construction of Marian's dresses.

In particular it's the obvious zippers down the back, especially on dresses that should actually be fastened in the front. I don't know why, but it feels like her costumes are frequent offenders? In S02E7 when shes at Mrs Chamberlain's house talking to Raikes, her bodice has lacing in the front AND an obvious zipper in the back. Most other characters tend to have bodices that actually fasten in the front, or have period-correct lacing up the back, although there are others with the obvious zippers too.

Another gripe are Aurora Fane's weirdly rococo bodices on her day dresses in season one, and the completely incorrect pencil skirt with attached loofah Gladys wore for the opera in season two...

In one episode George is in his office arguing with someone and he exclaims, "I don't care about Sandusky!"

Can anyone lead me to the episode and elucidate the context?

I watched the show clean through, and I began wondering how Cora Crawley (at that time, Levinson) and her family (especially her mother) would have fared against Agnes Van Rijhn, Caroline Astor and the rest. Would Martha have even met the muster of Bertha Russell? What do you all think?

Apparentky, Harry Richardson bas unfollowed everyone and everything Gilded Age related on Instagram. He is also apparently in New Zealand instead of filming episode 8. As a Larry fan, I should be quite worried, shouldn't I?

I'm coming into this from a very fanfiction heavy community of a long running crime serial (three guesses which one lol), The fanfiction circle I ran in was mainly queer, obsessed with milfs, and big into Y/N fics. Is there a similar circle here?

I'm writing a fanfiction and falling down a rabbit hole. Were the artists that were popular usually from new or old money?
