Need a show to binge? These are the must watch shows this summer
USA TODAY’s TV critic Kelly Lawler breaks down the best TV shows you don’t to want to miss this summer
Season 3 of HBO’s lavish period drama, “The Gilded Age,” set in the height of American excess and splendor in the late 1800s, returned for its third season June 22 to record-high viewership with 2.7 million U.S. cross-platform viewers tuning in for the series premiere within its first three days of availability, the network said.
The opulent series, created by “Downton Abbey’s” Julian Fellowes, follows high society and the battle between “old money” and “new money” in 1800s New York.
In the new season, the old guard is weakened following the Opera War and the Russells “stand poised to take their place at the head of society,” according to the season synopsis.
“Bertha sets her sights on a prize that would elevate the family to unimaginable heights while George risks everything on a gambit that could revolutionize the railroad industry — if it doesn’t ruin him first,” the synopsis says, adding, “across the street, the Brook household is thrown into chaos as Agnes refuses to accept Ada’s new position as lady of the house.”
“As all of New York hastens toward the future, their ambition may come at the cost of what they truly hold dear,” it concludes.
