With her fists or other assets?
I’m pumped but not going to be able to watch for a week.

And this show is stupid fun. It has us screaming at the screen like it's 1980's All My Children.

Was going to start it last night but it was too late and I wanted to rewatch the season 1 finale to get a refresher. Really enjoyed season 1. Love me some Carrie Coon.

I was so stunned by how much younger Carrie Coon and good looking is. They make her look so stern and unattractive on Gilded Age. Meryl Streep's daughter plays the lead.

Gladys is actually played by Taissa Farmiga. She's also in several seasons of AHS.

Exactly! You can just imagine him talking about the rookie that got sent home on cut-down day in NFL training camp.
I never really enjoyed watching Christine Baranski or Cynthia Nixon in other roles, but darn they are great in this show. Nathan Lane too.

Not enough Mr. Russell for me. His Robber Baron, cut-throat capitalist scenes were easily the most entertaining of the first season.

At minimum, if you saw her as Leonard's mother in Big Bang Theory, then surely you had to lover her in that. Absolutely hilarious...
As for TGA, season previews look awesome as it looks like Mrs. Russell and Ms. Astor are going to go toe to toe all season.

quote:It's a soap opera by the same creator that did Downton Abbey. So it's split between stories about the rich and stories about their staff. This has a third sub-story about an upper-class black woman who's thrown in with one of the rich families. Like Downton and most soap operas, everyone has a secret.
What is this show about?
Replace the royal drama from Downton with American robber barons and the highest of New York society and you have this series.

So it’s a show for the chicks and the gays?

The Russell’s are a legit power couple.
Also, her dresses are straight fire. Love it.

Rewatched the season 1 finale last night, glad I did because I had forgotten a lot.
I forgot just how bad of actresses the girls who play Peggy and Flora are. Maybe they have gotten better in season two, but they really do try and drag a show down with an otherwise really well acted show. I don't dislike their characters, but man it's bad. That was really my only gripe about season one.
I don't know how I wasn't thinking about this while originally watching season one but man the drama is some serious first world problems The big drama for Mrs. Ruseell in the finale was that Mrs. Astor snubbed her at her front door and everyone would hear about it.

Much of the plot is driven by women characters.
Good writing and production values so far.
