I have started to watch the first season of new American TV drama in aMC network recently through NetFlix after Pete told me about the show. I was surprised to learn such not popular TV network succeeded to get many attention.
Sets in New York City the show take place in the early 1960s in a prestigious advertisement agency in Madison Avenue. The show centers Dan Drapper smart, intelligent and mysterious as high executive manager who has a nice family, typical beautiful housewife, two beautiful children.. nice house in suburb ...... oh I forgot and a mistress....... like perfect American family.........
If you like me not much familiar with the American culture and economy in early 1960 it may come as a shock to you how people behave in the offices those days.
Men drank and smoke in office constantly, they slept with other women out of their marriage not to mention “no sexual harassment” ......They start drinking at 9 am and their “good housewives”.... they cooked, cleaned and usually didn't have a job ... they also drank and smoke... and most suffered from depression.... Men were in power, they ran everything in everywhere.......countries, business, houses and their wives.... Mad Men is about love, lost, money, art, business, power and I should warn you it is dark, serious even when they make jokes it is dark and you can feel is bitter rather funny.......... is just right for me.....
So if you haven’t start watching go to your Blockbuster or order with your NetFlix.
