"Downton Abbey" fanatics have already been treated to a feature film with a second one on the way. Now they're getting "The Gilded Age," a new series from "Abbey" creator Julian Fellowes that's every bit as scrumptious as his PBS classic.
"Gilded Age," premiering 9 p.m. ET Monday on HBO, takes place in 1882 America as the old-money establishment is getting hot and bothered by new money taking over the toniest neighborhoods of New York City.
The old guard is represented by Agnes van Rhijn (Christine Baranski), sticking her nose as high in the air as Maggie Smith's Violet Crawley ever did. She's the kind of caretaker that would insist on a 7:30 p.m. curfew for a 23-year-old.
