If there are any Downton Abbey fans, tonight at 9PM, HBO/HBO Max debuts The Gilded Age. It is from Julian Fellows as was Downton but focuses on the late 1880's on with new money trying to become part of society. Sort of an Upstairs/Downstairs in America

I'm not a big show watcher, but I finally did catch Ozark Seasons 1-3 over the summer.
My wife was shocked I binge watched the show with her. Basically Sopranos, Breaking Bad & Ozark are the only three series I've watched over 20+ years.
On Friday, we saw series final Season 4 episodes 1-7 just released and are now halfway through the new ones. Think final 7 episodes will drop before year end.

If you haven't watched it yet, you will have to give it a few episodes. Unlike Downton, which was about one family, The Gilded Age covers two families-one "old" money and one "new" money. Each family has its own set of servants. There are many characters, but Fellows has the key items of money, greed, business competition, ruthlessness, etc. You've got Astors and Vanderbilts, a who's who on NY society. Meryle Streep's daughter is the niece of one of the "old" families who is a major character who is a bit of a "modern" spirit. It will take a few episodes to understand the various characters.mjmaherjr post=452679 said:

I had a hard time getting into Billions. The characters are all unlikeable. No one to root for.
And I really like Wall Street movies. If you want a great movie about the 2008 real estate crash, check out "Margin Call" which has an incredible cast.
It's fast-paced and tense, taking place over the course of like 12 hours between the time a junior analyst realizes his firm is about to go belly up on its mortgage-backed securities to the time top management decides what to do with them.
