Second season of Julian Fellowes’ HBO/Max series set in 1880s New York City high society contains plenty of delights.
Season Two begins with hats. Lots and lots and lots of hats. It is Easter Sunday, and all the women of 1880s New York society are putting on their fanciest headgear before heading to church.
Among the more impressive aspects of the new season is how deftly Fellowes and his collaborator incorporate this antihero arc into the kind of soap operatics that have been the stock in trade on both this show and Fellowes’. The other characters are dealing with complicated love lives, financial peril, career ambitions, and more. And then periodically, Bertha and/or George will swoop in to absolutely tear one or more of them to shreds.
It is, like so many aspects of the series, a fight over a seemingly small matter that stands in for something much bigger. As George Russell points out at one point, Bertha doesn’t evenopera. But being barred from the Academy by the likes of Caroline Astor has turned this into a vendetta, and as a chance to rebalance the scales of power in the city, so that money matters more than bloodlines.
