On HBO Max:  "The Guilded Age"
https://www.hbo.com/the-gilded-age

It takes place in 1880s New York, and is worth watching just to see the costumes.

Each bustle dress takes MINIMUM 15 yards of fabric. Mostly silk. (I recognize many from the Silk Baron online shop.) Cheap silk is around $40/ yard. These are not cheap silks.

I cannot even imagine what their costuming budget is.

But, even if you're not into costumes, it is entertaining and surprisingly funny. Also, it references many historic events.
