I'm hooked. Mad Men is the best! It takes place in 1960s New York and centers around the complicated life of Don Draper. From the smoking and drinking, the muted racism, the psychiatrist who secretly reports the wife's sessions to the husband, extra-marital affairs, office sexism and beatnicks, to the scene where the little girl comes into the room with a cleaners bag over her head and the mom does nothing, this show has it all. It's loaded with awful double standards, yet these people had a lot of personal freedoms. I just watched the first 10 episodes on On Demand, and I have a few more to go before the new season starts next week. I can't wait!
Oh, and what passes for being creative on this show isn't even up to current pre-school creativity standards! Too funny. There is lots and lots to think about here.
