Soderbergh did "The Knick", we were just comparing the two shows because they take place about a decade apart in the same location, and each show just happens to contain a family that are fictionalized versions of the same real-life Vanderbilts.Wait soderbergh did this? Oh I got to jump in, the girlfriend experience is one of my guilty pleasures
Never got into the knick, but I fw soderbergh
Nvm George was being his usual cunning self.
.I agree. Still, I’m totally enjoying this showI feel like they're kind of trying to have it both ways.
This show seems to be afraid to make a main character too much of a "bad" guy, so they make him *just* bad enough to not lose fans of the Russel's relationship
The old "we know he's really good inside...because he didn't allow the cops/Pinkerton agents to just massacre a bunch of people" (including child laborers).
Poor Agnes. I’d kill him.I feel like season 2 has suffered a bit from expanding the storylines of the supporting cast and limiting the focus on a couple of key characters, mainly Marion and George. There screentime seems to be less so far.
They've hinted at Marion getting with Larry since the first episode with their little Pumpkin meet cute but I've never cared for that pairing. They would be wise to have Tom Raikes come back next season after a freak accident befalls his rich wife.
Bring him back into the fold with a great rep and inheritance and have him pining for Marion again cuz he actually did love her and see if she calls off the engagement with cousin Dashiell to be with him.
Two people who came from Pennsylvania and found their way to each other despite one being penniless with status and the other being a lawyer but lacking status. Works much better narratively than Marion and Larry, the two rich kids who live across from each other. Too easy. Too contrived.
Aunt Agnes: How much of our money did you lose?
Oscar: ... Nearly ALL of it
Aunt Agnes:
This will be a love match. And they are friends first 
I mean that was egregious having the widow come into money that would happen to save them financially, and it was so blatant that they added the line "nothing's going to change" to let you really know what this show is.
Yeah...it's watchable enough, but the writers seem scared to take even the slightest of risks. They don't really trust their audience to watch anything they might find uncomfortable.The stakes on this show are so incredibly low
It will remain in the background for me but once again, it's strange that HBO would have a show like this in their lineup...this seems way more suitable for Max.
