That’s a movie, and in both cases, it’s twenty years too old. Both as in it’s set 20 years earlier, during the American Civil War, and it was made more than 20 years ago.

I saw it when it came out. It doesn’t check any of the boxes that I’m watching “the gilded age for”.

As a suggestion this feels like if you saw me with a liquorice pipe and thought “hey, you might enjoy loose snus (or chewing tobacco).”

Like… yeah, there’s a connection. But there’s also major differences.

Gangs of New York is a great movie though.

But for the itch I’m scratching, I’m now watching Belgravia. I don’t want to look at street crazies with razors hidden about their person — I’m watching shows for escapism from reality.

So I’d rather watch people in circles where the worst offense ever is to have sex before being married.

Got enough crazies living on my street challenging me to fights don’t need that in my shows.

Edit also unless you want to admire the scenery and dresses, you can honestly pretty much just listen to these, unlike gangs of new york, which has action
