   Ana de Armas, Vanessa Kirby *and* Sydney Sweeney?!?!   
      
   Well, with a cast like that, I'd have to watch it even if all they did was   
   read the phone book for two hours.

   So basically this is just a remake of THE GILDED AGE in a different time   
   period, which itself is a remake of DOWNTON ABBEY in a different time period.

   Notice how there's never any interest at HBO (or anywhere else) in making   
   documentaries about any of the American citizens killed in the border region   
   by illegal aliens.

   I usually don't bother with comedy specials on streamers but Gervais   
   consistently delivers a great show, so I'll check this out.

   Yes, it's possible if you're mentally ill.   
      
   I made an entire career out of dealing with people who fell in love with   
   people they saw and heard on TV and radio and the internet, who they never   
   actually met. It usually resulted in involuntary committal.
