Mad Men TV Series soars to new Dramatic Highs and Character Lows
By Author1 | October 2, 2008
This season of MAD MEN on AMC goes to show that the first season wasn't a fluke. No, this MAD MEN TV series delves into the world of advertising in the 1960`s while exploring deep and dark characters with completely different facades.
Sunday nights should now be reserved for watching the 1960's all over again with the company of MAD MEN. Go rent the DVD for season one madmen and record anything that comes on now on the AMC network. If you don't review the first season of MAD MEN on DVD, then you will surely be missing so many character and plot developments that it just won't have the same effect.
Matthew Weiner, who wrote for the Sopranos and is now the lead writer for madmen, brings his creative intertwining style to this series, making it one of the most intriguing television productions of the last decade. The series focuses on Don Draper who is an account executive with the Sterling Cooper Advertising Agency of New York City in the early 1960s. Not only do you get deep and fascinating characters in this series, but it is delivered in an era of political upheaval, racial tension, chauvinistic attitudes, retro fashion and clothes, and the very demanding world of New York advertising.
Don Draper, our 1960's answer to GQ, is a leading advertising genius with layered problems underlying a cool persona. His obvious intelligence leaves the viewer wondering how he could be so misguided, and at the same time, attracts sympathy as a result of his situation.
Even though Don Draper – played by Jon Hamm – is the main character of Mad Men, it by no means is a narrow dialogue. Think back to the Sopranos, and how diverse that series became even though most people watched it because of Tony, there was quality in every scene. Mad Men TV show is every bit as diverse, disturbing, and intriguing.
