Everything was so good, and then Gladys appeared in the frame in a corset on her naked body🤦♀️
I liked how the Brooklyn Bridge and Emily Roebling's contribution were woven into the narrative. There's such a story between her and her husband — at least shoot a separate series.

When Agnes entered the church, I wept with Marian, it was so touching.. Well, will anyone be able to surpass this woman in a more dramatic appearance?

I have always respected the Gilded Age for its magnificent and epoch-appropriate outfits. But why is Gladys going to the ball without a chemise under her corset?? In order to understand how strange it looks, you don't even need to be an expert — it's like putting on tight shoes without socks in the heat and going for a walk. Poor Gladys will rub herself all over. And for what? This will not affect the appearance of the dress in any way, it will just be TERRIBLY uncomfortable for her.

I love historical series about aristocrats, because what else can create the same tension around a plate of spilled soup? On the other hand, it somehow feels awkward that more attention is being paid to this soup than to a possible murder motivated by racial hatred or a strike of thousands. It becomes even more embarrassing to realize that for these people, soup would really be more important. No matter how much I love expensive outfits, I would really like to see a series that tells more about the working and middle class than about the marital problems of barons and millionaires.

@cherik-cherik: watch the Suffragette movie, as well as, for example, the Crimson Petal and the White one (I don't remember if the series is adequate, but the book is good) . I'm not reproaching, it's just that the creator of this series writes what he knows, and his theme is aristocracy.

@cherik-cherik: Have you watched Downton Abbey?

PS^ here the costumes, unlike the series above, absolutely do not correspond to the time

@bazaltika: and what do they not correspond to? as far as I noticed, apart from this corset there was nothing that hurt the eye. the dresses are very similar to the fashion cards of 1883, the underwear is usually correct, the inappropriate makeup is not particularly visible, the hair is also styled as if well. Considering that Downton Abbey has the same creator, it would be strange if the approach to costumes here was different.

Yes, explain to the man about the corset) please.
According to the comments, I was waiting for her to come out almost naked there, and there's an ordinary dress like, what's wrong?

@cherik-cherik: fabrics, finishes, color combinations - there was no such thing. That is, the silhouettes are correct, but the costumes themselves are not at all.

@bazaltika: it also immediately seemed that such complex and even brightly ornate dresses in cut and finish hardly correspond to historical ones. But it's interesting to look at

How happy I am for Aunt Ada and how I hope that by the end of the season she will not have her heart broken.
To the soup (and, in general, to the success of Mrs. Russell) it was terribly emotional.

@Nastysun: It will be very funny if the reverend really accumulates by the end of the season, leaving Ada a lot of money that she can put both her sister and Mrs. Russell under her belt. But I'm really happy for her and the pastor.

Agnes, of course, is a great manipulator. I was sure that she would be against it and would put a spoke in the wheels of this marriage. Not out of concern for my sister, but because of my beloved self. But the pastor is doing a good job with her, it's nice to see.

I disagree with the comments above about the fuss over the soup - that's the beauty of this series, in the intrigues of the aristocrats, in the luxury of that time and what lies behind it. And the problems of blacks are now being shoved in every series, it's pretty boring, why are there more of them here? (in the subject of the comment, that little time was given to this here). Go watch themed TV series on the topic of slaveholders and the fight against them, in this series the plot is based on another

That's right. The theme of slavery and oppression has long been revealed in the series "Slave Izaura" 😅🙈

@ViktoryMartini: This is a very important part of American history, especially right after the Civil War. Without this, the series would not have attracted the attention of the American audience, for which it was filmed.

The union of this season is Jack and his alarm clock 😄 what will this plot lead to???)))

They tease us with scenes of Larry and Marian again, but when already??

I was counting on such an appearance by Agnes)
Ada is so happy)) the actress plays well))

I don't know how it was in reality, but in the series, the servants respect their masters so much that they give them good advice and do their job with real dedication.

I thought that Merion and her student's father would be a couple, but it seems that Marion herself does not think so,
but the student's father is on the contrary. which the blonde herself doesn't seem to like very much😄

And Gladys, the mother wants to marry the Duke, apparently. Let's see what comes out of this

but this kiss in the hayloft doesn't seem to lead to anything good.

Somehow, all the intrigues in this series unravel too easily, and for the main characters, in fact, everything is always simple, with minimal obstacles. In my life, I would not have believed that Ada would be able to leave her sister in such a situation. Everyone is behaving very sensibly. But maybe that's the beauty of it, I watch the series, enjoy the picture, I'm happy for them and rest my soul.

Ну, конечно, Агнес просто королева драмы, странно, что не надела траурное платье 😅
Согласна с комментариями выше, что главное напряжение было вокруг ужина Расселов и тарелки с супом. Все-таки бывшая служанка та еще сучка.
Очень понравилась история про Бруклинский мост, погуглила историю его строительства, очень интересно 👍🏻
