were terrible in their roles in D A. The sisters at the heart of TGA, I'd argue, are far better. Also, the poor-relation young woman, played by Louisa Jacobson (Meryll Streep's daughter) is a breathtaking beauty, perfect for the role. The actions of the Robber Baron are historically correct for a man such as Frick. Lastly, Carrie Coons is one of our finest actresses and well-used.

Sets singularly are magnificent, with a fortune spent on design; costuming is similarly Emmy-worthy.

Lastly, the subplot regarding the young black woman I find an interesting facet. of the story; indeed, it too is somewhat based on a real character.

I recently finished a brilliant history of that time, "The Metaphysical Club." Though it is about the four intellectual fathers of Boston, at approximately the same time as the series, it gives a detailed account of those American times: TGA is true to that world of privilege, snobbery, conceit--- and the impact industrialization is having upon it. I find it fascinating.
