I don't understand the reviews that suggest nothing happens on this show. Folks, this is a dramatic series about everything, or perhaps better put, about the crucial thing. It's not just an excuse to titter at the -isms of a bygone era. It's about the human being's constant sense of solitude, and hir desperation, and ultimate inability, to escape it. And yeah, the furniture and retro design is boss awesome, too!

Finally, one of the few television shows in recent years where the second season not improved over an already very good to great show; it is clearly one of the best dramas to arrive in the past 10-15 years. What an ending last night to the second season. If Elizabeth Moss or Januray Jones don't get nominated next year for Emmys, it will be extremely disappointing.

Brilliantly crafted down the the last detail. I was born in 1958 and the interaction between the children and the Draper parents has given me significant goose bumps more than once. This show is spot on.

Awesome! I learned about the show late so I watched the entire first season in a week. I am already loving Season 2. The writing is excellent and heartbreaking. I can almost taste the smoke that fills the screen and I feel like coughing every time I see the actors light up. It's nostalgic without be corny. It's hard to believe that people used to smoke on elevators. I could go on for days. Excellent show!

Easily the greatest show on TV right now. I have a great uncle that was in advertising in nyc in the 60's and he said this show is 90% accurate as far as dialogue/tone/design. Reviewer Chris C writes: "politically incorrect for political incorrectness' sake, and amoral for amorality's sake." were you in advertising in the 1960's? no? then how do you know this is for the sake of those things and not an accurate account of what this world was like? sure, it may be slightly exaggerated, but chauvinism/excessive smoking/drinking was prevalent during this time. PC wasn't even a term. also, hipsters are out at local (bad) noise-rock shows on Sunday nights. hoping to be seen with a PBR in hand. they're definitely not watching this show.

The show deserves a ten because it is the best drama on TV. You have to praise AMC for taking a chance on this show, and boy did it work out for their benefit. The writing is flawless and the acting is pretty close as well. And the way the second episode ended with Don in a Japanese restaurant with Sakamoto Ryu's classis "Sukiyaki" playing in the background was so good it gave me goosebumps. Great stuff that deserves a wider audience.

Cast and writers are quite simply the most talented on TV. Mad Men is one of those shows you just don't want to end and which you anticipate with true pleasure each week. Makes the medium a true art form.

I don't get all the hype about this show. Does it look good? yes. Is it well acted? Yes. However, I don't think the writing is all that good; it's simply soap opera. I watched Season 1 in a Marathon; caught the first 2 episodes of Season 2. Won't be back for episode 3.

Chris C gave it a5:
Yet another HBO-mimicking overrated show that just tries to be cynical for cynicism's sake, politically incorrect for political incorrectness' sake, and amoral for amorality's sake. A formulaic cluster-f that gets called 'honest' and 'groundbreaking' because it's particular formula flatters the hipster worldview.

Best dramatic show of the summer. Praise well deserved.

Don't like it. Would prefer it should have been in B&W, to create '50-'60 atmosphere. Too much sex parts which means how '50-'60 are seen now, with new Millennium eyes, rather then from those days view.
