The Carrie Coon character needs to get put in check. I’m rooting for Mrs. Astor because, well, it’s the goddess Donna Murphy.

I really hope we have more scenes between Christine Baranski and Audra McDonald‘s characters considering they co-starred together and had great chemistry in THE GOOD FIGHT.

I'm looking forward to Ada having a romance. They need to get the two sisters out of their house.

It's sad the show has taken such pains to incorporate African-Americans intelligently into a substantial part of it, and yet the trailer would never make you aware of that.

I can't stand this show. The characters are bitchy, mean, and greedy. The black woman seems like a put in for the sake of having a black character, and none of the men are handsome. I like Broadway actors but this show is a bore. American snobs just aren't like their British counterpoints- not enough history behind them.

It's back this weekend! Will you be watching each week or will you wait until a few episodes/the entire season has aired and binge them in batches?

Is it weekly or dropping in one batch? I thought it was all landing at once. Maybe am confusing with The Crown.

The episode descriptions are up on google. This season is built around the Metropolitan Opera House vs. the Academy of Music. Just when you thought it couldn't get more exciting!

Hope so. Oscar's story would be quite dull without John Adams on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

Man, I missed this show and the DL discussion it generates, feels like an eternity since the first season aired. Also missed Blake Ritson's wig and the beautiful Harry Richardson and Ward Horton.

The camerawork is outstanding, much better than it has any right to be on this type of show. The bustling opening shot with all the people walking to the Easter service, the dolly shot in the black church, the drone flying over that Newport manse, the camera entering the room with the characters when Larry was showing them around... So, so good. Reminded me just how static period pieces used to look.

The costumes are out of this world and the costuming is so clever – notice how most dresses are period-appropriate, but then there's one or two in the bunch that are super loud and anachronistic. This contrast makes them pop out more, but it also makes you take a second look at the details on the more boring ones.

I have a technical question, though. Could someone please explain to me how they managed to capture the dialogue in the opening scene where Baranski and Nixon are walking to the church? The camera was placed too high to use boom mics, and it looked way too precise for ADR, I rewatched it five times. Were they wearing hidden lapel mics?

By the end of this season, I want Mrs. Astor to knock that smirk off of Bertha Russell’s face so bad. I can’t stand that new money bitch. I understand her need to be seen and respected but she gloats like her shit can’t collapse at any moment. Also, let’s not underestimate the old money ladies.

The art direction is the best thing about the series. Harry Richardson is, indeed, pretty, but Blake Ritson has the Timothée-Rodent disease. I liked the three Churches cut against each other - the series looks like it cost a fortune.

And speaking of rodents - Cynthia Nixon dissolved most respect for her in the odd narcissistic performance in that SITC zombie show - but here she proves, again, she has acting chops.

Agree, R37. Nixon helped ruin AJLT and despite all the publicity and chatter, she makes you forget it. I quite like her on GA.

I don't think it gets a third season. Looks like the numbers are in the 400Ks for viewers. Not massive? It seems expensive to produce for something that is neither big viewership or critically acclaimed. Maybe Netflix will scoop it for lack of The Crown. Or co-produce it with PBS or something. It's a PBS kind of affair. HBO seemed such an odd place for it to land.

Part of the fun is watching all of the NY stage actors working on the show. I'm sure they're thrilled to get the tv $ and the exposure even if some of them are wasted.
