Billeter has been behind the camera on “The Gilded Age” since Season 1, and started out by using lens choices to follow the show’s demarcation between the “Old Money” Van Rhijns and the “New Money” Russells.

Is it just me, or is “The Gilded Age” finally getting good? After the second season’s finale, I bemoaned how much better Julian Fellowes’ American period drama could be if it gave characters the chance to develop and even let some of them fall in love à la Tom and Sybil or Carson and Mrs.

Now that another season of HBO's 'The Gilded Age' has concluded, there are several other period dramas to watch in the meantime.
