It's been a while since I've got really into watching an American drama, Rome and Carnivale being the last shows I got obsessed with. I was looking for something to watch in the 2007/2008 schedules and came across Mad Men, the drama about the advertising executives of 1960s New York. I'm so glad I watched it, now I adore it.
The central character, Don Draper, is excellently played by Jon Hamm and manages to be a total git who you can't help but like. Everybody fits into their roles so well and the costumes are gorgeous, I love the 60s style. The detail is impeccable in every scene. It's also quite frightening to see how un-PC everybody was back then - men could be totally mysoginistic, divorcees were looked at like meat and pregnant ladies smoked and drank. One particular episode included the hunt for a new campaign for cigarettes after it was revealed that they cause cancer. The irony that said executives who say smoking is safe then cough like invalids is delicious.
My favourite character is Betty, Don's wife played by the beautiful January Jones. She's the seemingly perfect suburban house-wife who is slowly falling apart under her own disguise. I feel so sorry for her because she doesn't get treated like an equal by Don, but he does to his mistress. She's such a star. I'm only 3 episodes in but I'm hooked! And with dirty Sexy Money premiering this Friday, things are looking good on the TV front.

I love it too! The costumes are gorgeous, I love the whole "men who wear suits, drink whiskey and smoke non-stop" thing. The writing is excellent and the overall feel is just fantastic! One minor quibble, I think its set in the late 50s? As far as I know they'll be dealing with the 1960 presidential election - in one scene in the first episode, Don's boss was talking about this young war hero who could run for president, Dick Nixon. I love reading about the Kennedy/Nixon showdown, so I can't wait for that!
i loove drammas
take a look at my blog, i listed 5 sitcoms i like :)
After the Wire I ended I was sad, glad I found out about Mad Men. It really lifted my spirits.
The writing really is up there among the best I've seen on TV. I love the way they play up 60s nostalgia while at the same time showing what was wrong about the era.
Good old fashioned rasicm/sexism/smoking abuse/alcholism. Gives you something to say when some old person rants about "the good ol days".
