Shot reality style, the comedy follows the misadventures of Newport's first family, The Bellacourts, a family with nothing to offer the world, but who have so much money that it doesn't matter. The show centers around the oldest Bellacourt sisters, Lillian (Leggero) and Beatrice (Lindholme), who care only about how they look, what parties they are invited to and becoming famous, which is a lot harder in 1902.
Another Period doesn't bang on any specific political topic, but roots around for what black comedy can be mined from the growing chasm between the rich and the working class.
At a time when politics are inescapable ... and can be read into almost every piece of entertainment, Another Period's over-the-top parody of society feels more vital than ever.
