If you haven't heard or seen The Gilded Age, I highly recommend it! It's a drama series on television on HBO in the US and Crave in Canada. It is written by Julian Fellows of Downton Abbey fame. Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon and Louisa Jacobson (Merle Streep's daughter!) are just some of the stars. The costumes and set are amazing!
The American Gilded Age was a period of immense economic change of great conflict between the old ways and the brand new systems, and of huge fortunes made and lost. It begins in 1882. I had a hard time following it at the beginning because of the many characters. I've come across these You Tube videos that make it easier to place all the characters.
