Summary: One of the Best Dramatic Series on Television
Comment: An absolutely fantastic telling of a story that centers around a group of Ad Executives that work at an Ad Agency on Madison Avenue in New York city, circa 1960. A great glimpse into how much America has changed since the 60's. Everyone smokes almost all of the time in every scene, they enjoy five martini lunches, and doting wives wait at home for their husbands with a roast in the oven. Wonderfully acted, engaging, superbly produced and filmed. This is one of the best dramatic series I have ever seen on television. I include Six Feet Under in the same category of quality. Very cinematic. The sound, picture, and extra features of the Blu-Ray version are second to none. Highly recommended.

Summary: Mad Men Season 1
Comment: Unfortunately I bought the Blu Ray version and do not have a Blu Ray player. This was my fault as I did not notice it was Blu Ray. If someone wants this or can trade for the regular version, let me know....

Summary: Wow!
Comment: I had read about the critical acclaim for Mad Men and knew it wons awards etc. but had not seen an episode. I just bought a Blu-Ray player and needed a test disc so I bought Mad Men Season One. Wow! Excellent! I've watched 11 episodes in 3 days and can't wait to finish the Blu-Ray disc set ASAP. It just sucks you in. I've just pre-ordered Season Two's Blu-Ray disc set,....
The quality of the video in 1080 / Blu-Ray is outstanding. It easily convinced me that upgrading to a Blu-Ray player from a very good DVD player was worth it.

Summary: Up there with Deadwood? Maybe
Comment: While lacking as big a budget as Rome and Deadwood it still has everything else. The acting and writing are superb. Definetly the best show in a few years =].

Summary: All television should be this good
Comment: I don't watch a whole lot of television. As a grad student in literature, I watch a few shows now and then that people tell me are "revolutionary" or "amazing", and most of the time, I've been disappointed.
What makes Mad Men so great is not just that the writing is incredible, the actors are great, the sets and costumes are so immaculate and colorful, the sense of time is so shocking and so believable. It's that this show transcends what normal television seems to hit--even the "great" shows are watchable once, maybe twice before they seem to lose their edge. I've watched several of these episodes three times or more, and the sense of art and space around the characters and their inner psychology is fascinating to watch.
These characters and these plots aren't just about something amazing happening; that's what makes them so special. These are normal, powerful men and women in ideal and slightly-less-than-ideal situations, and many of them have no idea why their lives are falling apart around them.
Explorations of capitalism at its most brutal, its funniest, its most dramatic and real.
