I love the way the show captures the mood and attitudes from that era! People drinking and smoking at work and men treating women like 2nd class citizens. Accurate down the tiniest details. The racism and sexism of the men brings back memories of those bad ol' days, and watching it makes me realize how far we've come in society in 5 decades. The acting is superb, and it's a real trip to see some of the old ads. Who ever is writing this show is really doing their homework!!!! GREAT SHOW!

As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels.
