American high society in the late 19th century serves as the backdrop for HBO’s acclaimed television series “The Gilded Age.” Set primarily in New York City in the 1880s, the show delves into the affluent families of the period, explored by the Russell family as it comes into considerable wealth. This esteemed status comes with tension from established rich families in the city who dismiss the Russells as being new money rather than a longstanding respectable dynasty. The series expands to explore other elements in the rapidly changing society from its diverse array of social classes living throughout the city.
