Read More A very evocative series of the late 50s/early 60s-the ad men sign up for Nixon campaign '60. Beyond the differences of behaviors - wild smoking everywhere, drinking at will and guys treating 'girls' as sport - the complex characters, competition and home life conflicts remind us that human beings have not changed that much (internally). This is well-acted,with brisk plot lines and satisfying to the eye, ear and mind. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

Read More Interesting protrayal of the 1960's male dominated world. Everyone always talks about how many times the Sapranos say the "F" word...I'd like to know how many cigarettes they lit up throughout this season of Mad Men. It ends with a nice twist. I can't wait for the next season! Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

All the choices for the roles are picked to perfection. The impeccable attention to detail that is paid to the blocking (film shot), set design and costumes are unsurpassed. This really has it all. The subtle deliveries that are required by these actors to suit the time period of the piece makes the series sing. Absolutely dead on in every aspect. Bravo and congratulations. Very well done.

Read More Due to many people's high recommendation, I really tried to like this TV show. Some episodes were much more interesting than others, so as soon as I was about to declare the show "boring," a good episode would pull me back into the plot lines. I was pulled back into it for a final time after watching the season finale. I was on the fence as to whether or not I was going to rent season two when it comes out, and so I decided that I would. My rating is not that high, but good enough for me to give it a try for another season. Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||

The settings, and clothes, and the smoking and drinking, and the conversations -- everything!!! -- is so "right on". It was a carzy time in my life -- back in the 60's -- and what these episodes depict is really how it was in the ad business... Close this Review WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes | No | ||
