Welcome to a world where Monday has a three drink minimum. Mad Men exists here and it's a fabulous place to visit, back before Betty Friedan's Feminine Mystique really made much of an impact and before the Surgeon General put warning labels on cigarettes. It was an America on the brink of social explosion and Mad Men, which tells the story of a group of Madison Avenue advertising executives in the early 1960s, captures that surface stillness perfectly, complete with the growing tension barely contained below the surface.
The show succeeds on every level. HBO famously passed on Mad Men, created by former Sopranos executive producer and writer Matthew Weiner. AMC picked it up, and thank goodness they did. From the first episode, Season One becomes an essential, utterly addictive television- watching experience. Beautifully filmed and masterfully written, the show manages to present the period honestly but with little nostalgia, and as soon as you get over the constant smoking, drinking and treatment of women as little more than "girls" who get coffee and answer the phone, the complexity of these characters (especially the dashing Jon Hamm as Creative Director Don Draper) will leave you completely captivated. Season One features clandestine office romances, shadowy pasts, a ton of adultery, closeted homosexuality and a lot more drama that seems risqué even for 2008. But again, one of the most impressive things about Mad Men is that everything is executed with absolute class, style and elegance. And bonus for the DVD viewer: Like The Sopranos, Mad Men has a ton of little moments and hints leading up to character revelations and plot twists that make watching the episodes over and over continually rewarding. –-Kira Canny

This series is quite simply pure class. Centered around the advertising & macho corporate world of New York in 1960, from the costume design all the way through to the story this is a must for people who enjoy adult drama.
The pace is fairly slow to begin with but sets the scene perfectly as the season draws to its climax. The main character is extremely complex, interesting and never fails to leave you astounded. No surprise he has won multiple awards for his performances (notably Golden ... Read More

Mad Men: Season One
Lionsgate Home Entertainment, £29.99, October 2008
Last month, the television show Mad Men won the Emmy Award in the United States for best drama series, putting it in the company of The Sopranos, Lost and 24. Like those other programmes, Mad Men has a long, unfolding storyline, costs millions of dollars per episode to make, and seems largely intended for home-recording or DVD viewers, who will ...

Has the scourge of mindless fame whores on reality tv driven audiences to such desperation that they will now accept ANYTHING that is scripted? And be convinced it is good?
Mad Men is miserable "entertainment" choc-o-bloc with wooden one dimensional characters hobbled by delusions, dalliances and the worst possible writing on a modern day television program. Egotism, sexism, racism, alcoholism, elitism. A crass cavalcade of cliches, you get it all in a filthy little package with Mad ... Read More

I LOVE this show!! Great writing, great cast and having grown up in this era, it is very realistic, but also very entertaining. Can't wait to see Season Two.
