    Not sure why but I thought this show was a comedy like Taika Waititi our flag means death. I was so confused during the first episode

    I’ve been on a NYC history kick lately so this video was helpful especially as someone who enjoys this show.

    I also learned I’ve apparently been pronouncing Carnegie incorrectly my entire life.

    Baron Fellowes of West Stafford, member of the House of Lords and show-runner will surely have crafted a scathing critique of the robber baron class.

    Julian Fellowes ought to be making a show that romanticizes Elon’s breeding Legion and Zucks heroic looks maxing transformation IMO.

    One of the shows my wife and I both really enjoy and then looking up the actual historical people and discovering about them.

    The official HBO podcast is great. Usually have an actor or director on to discuss the episode. Then the hosts go into the history in the show. Which is a good jumping off point to look up stuff on your own. One of the hosts has his own NYC history podcast.

    Really good through the first two episodes. Mrs. Astor really enjoys dropping the occasional turd in the punch bowl. Starting to dislike Mrs. Russell and Miss Brooke is kind of annoying ...

    She is by her own admission, a shameless social climber, But I hate the fact that she's trying to fuck up Gladys's life.

    Not really sure why Mr. Russell tolerates her, She's pretty bad ...

    I cannot pinpoint why I enjoy this show so much but I really do. Perhaps I hold it to lower standards than S-tier TV and thus I’m able to look past its flaws. Couple that with being super intrigued by NYC and this historical era and it’s a perfect mix.

    Larry can do better than Miss Brook tho :cmonson:
