The Gilded Age (2022)
Not hitting the right buttons

I really wanted to like this. No, I was ready to absolutely LOVE it. But, episode after episode it is becoming clear that it's more style than substance. I can't really put my finger on it, but something feels off- no chemistry between the characters, boring, predictable, shallow plots, uninspiring dialogues... I can't connect with any of the characters, they just leave me flat, like... ok, whatever. Which is sad, because it's clear that a lot of money was spent on the production, and it's HBO... it should be awesome. Julian Fellows should have taken a page from the, for example, "The Age of Innocence" for a great Gilded Age drama.
6/10 and I'm being generous.
