Madmen Review 8/22/2008 This is probably the most well written show since I can't remember when. The acting is spectacular and truly absorbing. There are many surprises along the way, ones that you actually don't see coming for a change! All in all my favourite show on TV right now and it's going to be a very difficult show to ever beat in the future. Thank You. Was this review helpful?
I love this show!! 8/21/2008 I was surprised season one was released so fast, but am glad it was. I love this show and think it fairly deserves all the awards and praise it has earned. I look forward to many more seasons. Cox subscribers it is on AMC's free zone for On-Demand if you have missed any episodes. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

I'm in advertising so the subject matter is interesting to me -- but this series is a tough sell. I was bored beyond belief for the first two episodes, and had to force my way through the first disc. It was dull, plodding, and dreary. The show goes out of its way to show a 'slice of life' from roughly 1960, and sometimes in doing that they lose the momentum of the show. It's difficult to like any of the characters so there isn't a lot of emotion to the story. The series doesn't really pick up until late in disc 2 when you see all the subplots start to intertwine. By the end of disc four you're interested in what happens, but frankly I wouldn't be disappointed if I never saw another episode. The acting, set and costume design are all well done -- it just doesn't move fast enough. There have been some complaints about the case but I have no problem with it. Closing it can be a little annoying when the discs don't line up with the slots correctly, but it's fine. I like the Play All menu selection so you can watch all the episodes on a disc back-to-back. I'm glad to see they include that when so many other sets do not. I really wanted to like this series more than I do. But I'm left with an "eh, I can take it or leave it" attitude. Thank You.

It takes place in the 60's and the time period is as much a character of the show as the people are. It is 100% accurate - the furnishings, clothes and THE SMOKING !! It is hilarious but oh so true of the period. Everyone smoked. When you watch this show you are enthralled for it is one of those rare experiences today. it is not gratuitous television. It is a superbly crafted piece of art. It is glorious how each character slowly develops over the season and we learn more about them slowly as you would a person in real life. These characters become so addictive. The ensemble cast is so amazing it is difficult to pick anyone out but Jon Hamm does certainly rule the roost with his presence. But I am also sure Peter and Peggy will linger in your thoughts. This is such intelligent television. It is of the caliber you would expect from HBO or Showtime. The historical facts are very interesting to me. They show the whole campaign and election between Kennedy and Nixon. I am 47 now so was not around for that. It is so interesting to see that Kennedy was not so overly popular when running and it shocked many when he won. The first Catholic president. My, my. I find that very timely with the election we are facing. Nothing was spared to make this show the highest quality and the most accurate. Anyone associated with it should hold their head high and it certainly deserves all the accolades it has received. If you have yet to view this show, don't deny yourself. It is quality tv at its best. Thank You. Was this review helpful?

While much has already been written on the program's stunning recreation of mid-century cultural/corporate atmospherics and the big swinging casualness of its fidelity is optional lifestyle, the real focus for me is Sterling Cooper's creative chieftain, Don Draper. He is a man of compromised emotion and is quite literally as ephemeral as the Brands he champions. Draper's life is a canard, based entirely on an identity stolen from one of his dead Korean War comrades - with his lineage, education, breeding and comportment all fabrications in the service of his assumed identity. His wife is a prop to whom he owes no allegiance - his co-workers "necessaries" in the propagation of his fraud. His is the ultimate fantasy played out within an industry that chews it like Pez. Draper's essence is one of physical inflection married to the danger of living in one's own head - where dialogue becomes superfluous, dangerous and far too revealing. It is the program's singular pleasure to watch Jon Hamm inhabit the role with such detached earnestness as if living on the brink of detection with every breath. His is a morality play of which Deadwood's Al Swearangen could be proud - and slightly envious. Draper is far from the only thing in Mad Men worth watching. The entire supporting cast is outstanding led by Draper's wife Betty, played by January Jones. For me however, Hamm remains the nucleus of the program and is a tour de force. Very highly recommended! Thank You. Was this review helpful?
