Am I like Bertha, and is he George? A deep dive into the Gilded Age Power Couple of the Moment!
In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most compelling relationships on TV — George and Bertha Russell from The Gilded Age. Join us (a real-life couple!) as we unpack the dynamic between ambition and love, money and loyalty, social climbing and staying grounded.
We’ll explore questions like:
- How does George support Bertha’s relentless climb through New York society?
- Is their relationship a blueprint for modern power couples or just gilded fantasy?
- What do you think makes George and Bertha’s marriage so solid despite all the pressure and ambition?
- Bertha is the social climber, and George is the financier. Who holds the real power in their marriage — and why?
- Would their relationship survive in 2025, where ambition in women can still be controversial?
