I love this show. It reminds me of a time in my life that I started a career in the corporate world. There is a problem though. I smoked during that time as everyone did, but in that upscale Madison Ave environment, women did not carry a cigarette around with them. It was unlady like to walk with a burning cigarette in your hand. Men did it, but not women. It bothers me during the show when the women walk around the office or their home with a burning cigarette.

At first, I thought that I might not like the show...but after watching an episode for the very first time, I was hooked. I was really impressed with the plot and it was apparent that the creators really put in much time and effort to produce such a show. I find the show to be calming and it is the perfect way to end a Sunday night. The show relaxes me odd enough!! The only thing that bothers me about the show is the fact that they made the show really early 60's authentic but they left out one minor detail...all the liquor bottles have the present day appearance. I understand that this is a minor detail and finding liquor bottles from the 60's era is probably hard (I can't help it, I'm a little OCD) but it bothers me. The show really brings me into that time and seeing one small modern item in a show that is set in the past ruins the whole affect. Other then that, the show is great.

A very well rounded show. Nothing to over the top or under done. Even with it's acclaim it's not a ratings giant so it still gets to keep it's integrity. Great direction, writing, acting, and design. Even the music on the credits is delightful. Although the promos can seem confusing to me, it doesn't halt me from watching every episode. There's something in the things that aren't said or seen. Coming from one born in '93 that's a concept this generation can't grasp nowadays. Fantastic show, hope it goes out with the same diginity it came in with, may that be far away. ;)

Amazing! Great writing. Great direction. Great acting. This period show about a Madison Avenue ad agency in the early 1960's is superb on so many levels. It captures the changing mores of the time with brilliant vignettes. The staging and sets are impeccably detailed to reflect the time.
