'The Gilded Age' Season 3 Kicks Off with Some Serious Power Moves

Spoilers below. Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) was the clear victor of the Opera Wars that dominated the second season of The Gilded Age. The Metropolitan Opera House's grand opening was a triumph, adding another jewel to the nouveau riche Bertha's society crown. Now, Bertha has an even shinier target: a British duke. But her daughter Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) has different ideas about who she might wed. Bertha faces stiff competition as the Russell patriarch, robber baron George (Morgan Spector), has promised Gladys that she can marry for love. 'Who Is in Charge Here?' is the premiere title, which applies to more than just the Russells. The lavish HBO period drama kicks off with myriad attempts to grab power or assert control in a society with a fondness for rules that rarely favor women. One such incident underscores how divorce in 1880s New York City could be life-ruining even if you aren't the one who committed adultery. It is an eye-opening moment in a season premiere as decadent as the dazzling costumes from Emmy-nominated Kasia Walicka-Maimone. Read on to find out who is at loggerheads, get an update on the clock plot, and learn who is being painted by legendary portrait artist John Singer Sargent. Agnes Van Rhijn (Christine Baranski) almost lost everything after her son Oscar (Blake Ritson) fell for a con that drained the family finances. Or rather, Agnes lost everything, but a surprise inheritance from Ada's (Cynthia Nixon) husband, Luke Forte (Robert Sean Leonard), saved them from downsizing. Luke's tragic death left Ada with a hole in her heart and the financial means to save her sister. Ada is now the mistress of the house, but that doesn't mean Agnes is falling in line behind her younger sister, especially with the new cause Ada is championing. One early point of contention stems from Ada hosting a temperance meeting. 'Let the sober circus begin,' Agnes quips as people arrive at East 61st Street in the snow. Ada won't let her sister bully her, though, explaining that she has chosen this cause because she wants to honor Luke's memory. 'He cared about people and I will too,' Ada reasons. Of course, Agnes points out the flaws as Luke drank wine with dinner and served Holy Communion. No one does withering delivery quite like Baranski as she takes pleasure in every barb and eye roll. A highlight of this new dynamic is that Ada no longer allows herself to be a doormat. Ada pushes back, instantly making this dynamic even more compelling. Agnes takes her pettiness to new heights and won't let her sister use the good silver for the meeting, prompting confusion regarding the conflicting orders. They want Bannister (Simon Jones ), the butler, to resolve this issue, as they can't have two mistresses. However, it is not as simple as that because Agnes always speaks her mind. On Bridgerton and The Buccaneers, marrying a duke is mainly seen as desirable. However, on The Gilded Age, Gladys only has eyes for sweet Billy Carlton (Matt Walker). Knowing their mother will object, Larry (Harry Richardson) helps his sister meet up with Billy in secret so the couple can discuss their plans to wed. Billy wants to talk to George about proposing, who is currently on business in Arizona. Later at the opera, Billy is concerned about the gossip items he has read in the newspapers that indicate Hector, the Duke of Buckingham (Ben Lamb), is returning to New York to be with Gladys. However, Gladys thinks her father will ensure she can marry for love, not a title. By now, Gladys should realize that Bertha rules the domestic roost. So much so that when Billy's mother thinks she will find common ground with Bertha about the happy union, Bertha immediately shuts down this talk of celebration. Mamie Fish (Ashlie Atkinson) helped with the whole opera meet-up. 'I'll suffer for that,' she says. However, Mamie also lives for the drama, making this spat worth it. When Bertha confronts Larry about the ruse, she mentions that Mrs. Fish loves gossip more than anything, and he was stupid to involve her. Larry won't be bullied by his mother, insisting Gladys should have a choice. Bertha thinks her children are young and foolish, and even though Larry puts up a fight, there is no winning. Unknown to Bertha, Larry is also in love and, like his sister, he is unofficially betrothed. Marian (Louisa Jacobson) doesn't want to go public yet, as it has only been a few months since she broke off her second engagement. She still has to pass the Bertha Russell test. At the end of season 2, Bertha promised Gladys's hand in marriage (and sizable dowry) to Hector. It would be uncouth to admit that she is planting stories about this forthcoming union in the newspapers, but Bertha is doing everything she can to make this happen. Part of this scheme to ensure her daughter becomes the face of society is commissioning a painting by John Singer Sargent. The Gilded Age has long sprinkled real-life figures amid the fictitious, from regular characters like Caroline Astor (Donna Murphy) and Mrs. Fish to Oscar Wilde and Booker T. Washington. Having Gladys sit for Sargent is another example of how the series marries historical authenticity with the outlandish antics playing out. Bertha is enamored with Sargent and finds the whole Madame X scandal alluring. That particular painting (a personal favorite of many, including myself) now hangs in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, and recently was on loan at Tate Britain in London (I have seen it in both locations). Bertha references the Mrs. Burckhardt painting ('Lady with the Rose') as capturing a young woman becoming a woman, which is what she wants for Gladys's portrait. While Gladys doesn't understand the fuss, Bertha recognizes the value. Later, Gladys tries to reason that her mother would have loved to see her daughter married to someone from a family like Billy's, but Bertha says they have overtaken them. Now, Gladys needs someone who matches her station. The two can't agree, but Bertha doesn't foresee her daughter running away in the middle of the night. Gladys isn't waiting for her father to get home to fix this mess, but is she eloping? Speaking of George, he is on a business trip out west (Morenci, Arizona, to be precise) because he has grand plans to build a railway line from New York to Chicago and Chicago to Los Angeles. If it comes together, it will be his crowning glory, but it is a huge gamble. For starters, George needs to persuade the land owners that it is a good deal to sell off their mines, which gets off to a slow start.. It is a precocious time for the banks in New York, with George getting called back to the city as there is a 'run on' another financial institution. If too many people withdraw cash, it will go under, and George will lose a fortune. It seems unlikely that George will have too much time to deal with Bertha's plans to wed Gladys—or the funds for the dowry. Will this cause cracks in their own marriage? Theirs is not the only union under strain, and perhaps the most shocking moment of the premiere comes courtesy of Charles Fane (Ward Horton). Until now, Charles hasn't left much of an impression beyond his pearly white smile, but I was ready to fight for his wife Aurora (Kelli O'Hara) when he arrived home late and announced he was leaving her. Aurora could not believe her ears when Charles dropped the mistress bombshell. Aurora has always been sweet and supportive to her family and newcomers like Bertha, but a divorce will end her social life. It might sound incredibly dramatic, yet this exile is likely even though she did nothing wrong. For starters, it is Aurora who will have to file for divorce because Charles is the adulterer, and she needs to establish residency in Newport because New York courts allow the press to enter. Aurora refuses to do so, but Charles makes it clear he will marry the other woman. When Aurora tells Agnes, Ada, and Marian, they are as aghast as Aurora. Marian thinks their friends will surely not turn their backs because she is innocent in all of this. 'Society is not known for its logic, especially where women are concerned,' Aurora responds. Sadly, history tends to show Aurora is right. Another person struggling with their place in the world is footman Jack (Ben Ahlers), who continues to work on his clock invention with Larry as his partner. But some characters view his ambition with suspicion or jealousy. When Jack meets with Larry at the Russell household, there is confusion about whether the Russell footman should serve Jack refreshments. Larry thinks it is ridiculous that his staff assumed otherwise, but the Russell employees make their dissatisfaction known to Jack when he leaves. Adelheid (Erin Wilhelmi) tells Jack he is getting in over his head, which is not true. In fact, Jack needs to speak up and let Larry know he needs to be at the meetings with potential investors, as Larry has no idea about the clock mechanics. Thankfully, Jack's colleagues are far more supportive (Armstrong aside) and dismiss Adelheid's cruel words. They support and want the best for Jack, giving him the boost he needs for confidence. Another person moving up is Peggy Scott (Denée Benton), who traveled to her parents' home in Brooklyn to pick up some mail: the Christian Recorder wants to publish an extract from her work-in-progress novel. After traveling back to the Van Rhijn/Forte residence in the snow, Peggy tries to write new chapters throughout the episode, but gets sicker and sicker. At first, Peggy dismisses the concerns, saying she probably picked something minor up in the cold. But as her cough worsens, Agnes sends for the family physician. However, the doctor refuses to see Peggy because she is Black. Agnes is horrified, especially as Peggy sounds rather ill. In this emergency, Oscar says they must send for her parents, with Jack taking the message. Peggy's father is a pharmacist, and they probably should have contacted the Scotts earlier. For all the frivolity of storylines about socialite marriage and other silly plotlines, Peggy's dilemma is a reminder of the racist 19th-century realities. Despite Agnes thinking she has the power in this household, there are matters she cannot control, which are far more egregious than her sister's new status.

'The Golden Child' 4K UHD Blu-Ray Review - Supernatural Eddie Murphy Adventure Gets A Premium Release

The eighties were a white-hot time for Eddie Murphy, who had broken out of Saturday Night Live to become one of the most bankable stars in the business. Nestled between early decade breakouts such as Trading Places and Beverly Hills Cop and the phenomenon that was Coming to America, there is a title that is often labeled as the odd creative miss from this decade. The Golden Child is an oddity no matter how you look at it; this was Murphy's first foray into the realm of the fantastical, and it was also the first time he deviated from his standard R-rating in favor of a more audience-friendly PG-13. The results were not a complete disaster financially – it comfortably made its money back – but the response was more muted than everyone had become accustomed to for Murphy. As we are nearing the 40th anniversary of this polarizing film and Vinegar Syndrome has finally deemed it worthy of a 4K UHD Blu-Ray release, we take a look and see if the ambivalence towards this film is warranted. The titular 'Golden Child' is a mysterious young boy in a remote Tibetan temple who is capable of carrying out some truly astonishing miracles that have to be seen to be believed. When you have anyone with this type of power, there is also bound to be people mobilizing to control it or eliminate it. The group in opposition to this child is led by the devious Sardo Numspa (Charles Dance, Game of Thrones), who leads a deadly raid on the temple that leaves countless slaughtered monks and the miracle child abducted. Halfway around the world in Los Angeles, we meet social worker Chandler Jarrell (Eddie Murphy), a caring, unyielding man who seeks to protect the safety of children with everything in his power. Jarrell actually happens to have more power than he even knows, as he is told when the tantalizing Kee Nang (Charlotte Lewis) shows up to reveal his destiny as 'the Chosen One' who will save 'the Golden Child.' While this news sounds patently ridiculous to Jarrell, evidence starts to pile up that she may not be entirely off her rocker. Chandler Jarrell was considered a very atypical role for Murphy at this point in his career. Murphy was known for being loud and brash and unrepentantly shocking with his off-color humor. Jarrell, on the other hand, exhibited traces of these attributes while mostly remaining way more reserved than normal. This allowed Murphy to showcase a softer, sweeter side than audiences had seen, but it did not help in the comedy department. There are a few solid laughs in The Golden Child, but the film is extremely plot-driven in a way that stifles the natural charisma of Murphy. This might not be such an issue if the plot was compelling, but it really lacks momentum in that department, as well. There are so many elements that are introduced and shoved into the lore that it starts to become more than a bit convoluted. The basic elements are in place for the film to be good, but the script does not give anyone much to latch onto. Charles Dance is a really great villain, but inconsistent writing holds him back from being truly menacing. There are moments in this film that scream to be seen by a certain type of fan, but morbid curiosity might not be enough of a driving force for most viewers. As mentioned, this was the first time that Murphy delved more into the realm of fantasy, and it is understandable if this experience soured him on the genre for a little while. When you sit down for an Eddie Murphy film, you do not exactly expect to see a half-snake lady or full-on shape-shifting demons, but there the movie is getting more and more outlandish. I would argue that some of these elements could have been sort of cool, but some extremely rocky special effects just make everything laughable. The film is not a complete disaster, which we have seen on occasion from Murphy, but there are numerous script issues and technical choices that leave a lot to be desired. This film will never be known as top-tier Eddie Murphy, but it does deserve some recognition for inspiring Murphy to have a greater hand in writing many of his future films – many of which ARE extremely entertaining. Video Quality The Golden Child makes its 4K UHD Blu-Ray debut with an exceptional 2160p transfer in Dolby Vision/HDR newly scanned and restored in 4K from the 35mm Original Camera Negative. One of the biggest benefits of this new transfer is the splendid implementation of Dolby Vision for expanded color output. There are a lot of bold hues in the film that radiate off the screen with an immaculate vibrancy. The black levels are extremely deep and allow for true detail to come through well. Highlights likewise hold firm with nothing veering into blooming. Skin tones are natural and lend themselves to showcasing an amazing amount of detail. This presentation is a powerhouse that preserves the filmic look with proper film grain and texture throughout. The level of clarity and detail on this release is unbelievable, with only the occasional shot that looks a bit on the soft side due to optical effects. There are very subtle details in the lush production design that are more clearly visible than ever from minute details on outfits to some of the production design on display in the temples. Vinegar Syndrome has done an excellent job of restoring this, as all print damage has been cleaned up without messing with the natural look of the film. Those who have been waiting for this one to be given the ultimate treatment on 4K UHD Blu-Ray should be thrilled by the results Audio Quality The 4K UHD Blu-Ray comes with both a DTS-HD 5.1 and 2.0 Master Audio lossless soundtrack that sonically represents the film quite wonderfully. The activity focuses heavily on the front channels with the synth-based score from Michel Colombier filling the room appropriately. Music is used skillfully throughout the presentation, but it never overpowers the dialogue or other important information. The grandiose dialogue comes through clearly and never falls victim to any digital anomalies. Rear speakers get some occasional activity with ambient sounds, but it is not a standout in that regard. There is a substantial amount of low-end support when the scene calls for it, as well. Both tracks accomplish everything they need to do with great ease. Optional English SDH subtitles are provided. Special Features Audio Commentary: Author/screenwriter Kelly Goodner and film historian Jim Hemphill provide a new commentary track in which they discuss the production of the film, the challenges of shooting on location, the career of Eddie Murphy, the background of the ensemble, the notes from the studio, and more. Throwing Elbows – Writer/Co-Producer Dennis Feldman on Writing, Selling, and Making It To Hollywood: A new 19-minute interview with the screenwriter in which he discusses his career, developing the idea for The Golden Child , the process of selling the script, getting Eddie Murphy attached, the legacy of the film, and more. Lover of Realism – An Interview with Matte Painter Caroleen 'Jett' Green: A new 13-minute interview with the artist in which she discusses discovering the art of matte painting, her background in art, working at LucasFilms, the paintings she worked on, and more. FX Man – An Interview with Academy Sci-Tech Award Winner Mark Noel: A new 13-minute interview with the creative in which he discusses creating some intricate special effects moments for the film including overcoming some difficult moments. The Demon I Wanted To Make – Designer and Sculptor Randal Dutra on Creating Sardo Numspa's Demon Form: A new 12-minute interview with the artist in which he discusses his background working on Star Wars and Gremlins , what he wanted to accomplish on The Golden Child , the challenges that stood in his way, and more. Master of a Lost Art – Go-Motion Supervisor Harry Walton on Animating The Golden Child's Go-Motion Sequences: A new 15-minute interview with the artist in which he discusses turning down working on Star Wars (twice), his specialty in stop-motion, working on The Golden Child , and more. The Chosen Ones: A seven-minute vintage featurette in which the cast and crew take a closer look at the script, characters, performances and more. Daggers, Design & Demons: The second half of this featurette runs seven minutes and takes the viewer on a journey through the technical details including the production design, costumes, stunt work, special effects and more. Archival Interview with Harry Walton: A five-minute archival interview in which the artist discusses the go-motion process as it pertains to the film. Theatrical Trailer (2:04) Image Gallery Final Thoughts The new release of The Golden Child brings a notable title from Eddie Murphy to 4K UHD for the first time. The film itself may not be a top-tier effort, but there are some elements that Murphy fans may want to check out if they have never caught this one. The 4K UHD Blu-Ray itself is quite wonderful with a stellar A/V presentation and a striking array of special features. If you are already a fan of the film, you will be very pleased by this release. The Golden Child is currently available to purchase on 4K UHD + Blu-Ray Combo Pack. Note: Images presented in this review are not reflective of the image quality of the 4K UHD Blu-Ray.
