“The latest run is the best yet, fairly fizzing with gossip and intrigue”
The Gilded Age, Sky Atlantic
“In the previous seasons, it could be hard to work out whether the creator, Julian Fellowes, had been too constrained by what he was supposed to be making, or too free to make exactly what he wanted to make. But it’s a lot more fun this time around. The Gilded Age has become not just grand, but silly too. Instead of joylessly pompous, this show is now joyfully pompous. I’m in.”
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian
“The Gilded Age has, I am afraid to say, become so enervating, an endless parade of fab ballgowns, dinners, teas and parasols, and focused far too much on those above stairs rather than below. At least Downton got the balance right. As for the constipated dialogue, it made me want to send for the doctor.”

“The latest run is the best yet, fairly fizzing with gossip and intrigue. It starts slowly but gathers pace beautifully, complete with some gasp-inducing cliffhangers.”
Michael Hogan, The Telegraph
“A quiz show like Celebrity Puzzling will happily bridge the gap between their daytime fodder and all those divertingly trashy thrillers and documentaries about Yorkshire, royalty and the 1970s. Will it prove as popular as House of Games? That’s a question nobody can yet answer.”
