The Gilded Age Season 3: HBO’s show may finally be … good now? It has not been easy to be a fan of The Gilded Age. The HBO period drama was pilloried in its first season for its “razor-thin plots” with “low, possibly even invisible” stakes that lacked any sharp elbows and nursed a bizarre affection for its robber baron protagonists—and this was just the criticism published on Slate! When the show returned in 2023 for a second season, I approached watching it as a form of televisual rubbernecking, expecting to delight in watching yet another expensive car crash, only to find myself surprised that the series did appear to be finally kicking into gear by introducing viewers to strange concepts like plots and good acting. What a joy it is, then, to tell my Gilded girlies that Season 3 sees these positive trends continue, even if the show does still have some miles to go before it can comfortably claim to be the prestige television it has always passed itself off as. Across its eight episodes, the first of which debuts Sunday night, this new season is peppered with twists and scandal, heartbreak and horror—and, of course, more extravagant hats than Churchill Downs has ever seen. Stories that used to feel like they dragged on forever are suddenly moving much more quickly, as befits a soap opera
