HBO’s latest series, “The Gilded Age” is nothing short of a visual feast, filled with sprawling marble mansions and luscious recreations of 1880s New York City.

The battle between old and new money in late 19th century New York City comes to a head as two formidable women face off in The Gilded Age, the delicious new drama from Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Season 2, Episode 4 of Euphoria, “You Who Cannot See, Think of Those Who Can.”] Eric Dane has been gracing our TVs for quite some time now, but if you aren’t watching him on HBO‘s Euphoria, you’re missing out.
