Gilded Age - Season 1 | Episode 2 - Review – "Money Isn't Everything"

Step back into the opulent world of The Gilded Age with our full breakdown of Season 1, Episode 2, “Money Isn’t Everything” (aired January 31, 2022). We cover every high-society snub, power move, and whispered secret — from Marian’s budding friendship with Peggy, to Agnes van Rhijn’s icy disapproval, to Bertha Russell’s calculated climb into New York’s elite.

Watch as George Russell proves exactly why you don’t cross a railroad tycoon, Mrs. Astor holds court as the ultimate social gatekeeper, and the charity bazaar turns into a jaw-dropping show of dominance. We’ll unpack the social chess game, the economic maneuvering, and the subtle drama that makes The Gilded Age irresistible.

If you love period drama with sharp wit, stunning sets, and scandal at every turn — this is the recap for you.
