Mad Men
I started watching Mad Men last night, and I have to say I love it. Revolving around a Madison Avenue advertising agency in the 1950s, the show does a fantastic job of giving the modern viewer a taste of the decade. Filled to the brim with common misconceptions of the day, as well as rampant sexism and racism, it is truly a joy to watch how much has changed in the past sixty years. However, what’s more interesting is noticing what has remained the same. I don’t really want to provide examples since I’d prefer you watched and saw for yourself, but trust me, you’ll definitely enjoy it.
The DVD for Season 1 won’t be released for a few months, so for those of you don’t mind a little bit of harmless piracy, you can find the show here. Just something for you to watch while you wait for Lost to come back from hiatus.
