mpleadbeatter Started slow in first couple of seasons, but by the end I loved it! Not quite on same level as some of my favourite series however a solid 8/10
solw-54325 After watching this show i questioned the existence of human life. Never ever have i seen anything this uninteresting in my intire life. I want to wish the producers of this series to change carrier and start working at McDonalds. Further more, i hope the actors are beeing payed a lot for doing such a boring series. Wow, they must be really needing a jobb to do this show.
didierdelausanne "Mad Men" is a fascinating immersion in the advertisement domain, in the development era of some of the world's most famous brands and companies, among others, inviting people to discover and watch advertising from the other side of the TV screen, showing the global aspects and complexity of this work.The great cast gives an interesting and realistic variety of personalities, close to daily life, struggling about finding the way to make their own place in this world, about how to give a meaning to their life, about how to find and keep their own balance between their work and their private life, with more or less success, highs and lows.The main character is the proof that talent and genius often come from creative and passionate people thinking out of the box and daring to push the conventional ideas further to succeed where so many people thinking only inside the box thinking fail, and that truly living means defending his own ideas and convictions, even if this may cause conflicts, rather than just following the stream. After all, there's always a solution, creativity is the key.The great image and production quality, some particularly funny or touching scenes, the stylish clothes and setups, and finally the singular simplicity in which everything happens are the cherry on top and make "Mad Men" definitely unique and brilliant.
FinnishOne At one point, I was fully ready to leave this show behind between the seasons 4 and 5 just for the fulfilling frustration poisoning my mind. But then realized, that's the brilliance in it. The show is written and successfully carried through by the consistency of silent, slow life, actually screaming with its whole lung capacity about the desperate change of the world. The hard work for the women to get their voice out, having the same kind of rights as men or at least close to it, is represented very gracefully. War and changing societies keep everyone at their toes, seems like no one can't really keep up - hence the constant drinking and wild sex, changing partners and most importantly: not giving a s*hit about exactly, anything. It never turns out the way it should, there is barely no consequences at all for the ones repeating their horrible deeds. This is the show that really makes you hate the main character and his face sickens you to the absolute point, and every time he gets a slap in the face with someones' rage, I feel deep joy. I will argue someone till to the end about the 'childhood dramas' that just naturally lead the main character on the way spreading misery all around him. I guess this is also where the point about the show comes to the surface. Main character's (Donald Draper) so called childhood dramas are NOT THAT bad even, so that it would justify him to repeat the asshole behavior. It's sheer exaggeration, all of it, all of him. Other characters bring their more positive pictures into the show, even though they are a bit gloomy as well. Search for the possible real love seems to be impossible, because there's always someone new and better. It's the fascination of something better, just like the show itself: advertising. You're greedy after all, we all are. We have something wonderful just in our hands, but not being able to see it. Something new always changes the course of our interest. Nothing is enough. We want more and we want it now. No matter the consequences. And then we'll wonder and cry why the life is so cruel to us, we are we treated this way, I don't deserve this. We'll grieve for what is gone and ponder, why we just can't find someone who's truly ready to love us. That's us. That's our own reality right now as well. That's consumption, capitalism and the weak nature of us, blind belief to anything beautiful. That's Mad Men, and you just cannot stop looking at it. The truth.
