It is entirely period accurate, the snobbishness of the New York Elite has always been more in your face then the quiet stiff upper lip of the British aristocracy. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will be watching.

I hate the snobbishness and not sure if I will continue after this first episode. Downton Abbey was very subtle with the snobbishness, but classism is very hurtful and I’ve dealt with it nearly all of my life. I think Cynthia Nixon is the wrong person for the character of Ada Brook but Christine Baranski is spot on with her character. There is even classism at work with the household staff of both mansions.
