"Golden Tides" is a historical drama that follows the lives of the Hamilton family, a wealthy Black American family navigating the opulence, challenges, and prejudices of the Gilded Age (1870s–1900s) in New York City. The show explores themes of ambition, love, betrayal, and the pursuit of legacy, while also shining a spotlight on the complexities of race, class, and privilege during this transformative period in American history.
The Hamiltons are trailblazers, wealthy thanks to the patriarch’s innovative investments in railroads and textiles. However, their success invites both admiration and hostility from high society as well as their rivals. Between forbidden romances, alliances, and schemes, "Golden Tides" promises drama, romance, and a unique perspective on a pivotal era in history.
