Title: Rake
Review: 1880’s New York, in all its uptight debauchery, is the setting of this well done show by Downton Abby creator, Julian Fellows. The novena riche Russels try to make inroads with the Astor-led scions of Gotham society. Beautifully filmed, amazing sets and fine acting make this show worth watching…but oh, my, these rich folks are just brutal. Renewed for second season. If you like this historical period, you’ll like this show.
