Mad Men

After maybe 4 episodes of watching these men cheat, lie, and con their way from one episode to the next, I'd decided it wasn't intriguing enough to watch anymore. These people were shady, crooked, and self indulging, I don't need to turn on my television to see more of what already happens too often in life. No thanks Madmen.

Worst ending ever! I guess when I look at Don's life I see my own. I wonder where his happy ending was to better guage my own. A lot of the things Don did to other people I did also. My family is gone and I'm chasing the wind, wondering if I'll ever land on a cloud. Like the character Don, clouds are sometimes what you imagine them to be, no real surface. So I will go on with real life and face real problems,and face them alone. Some say that the journey is the unequivocal reward of the gift of life. No.

The smoking, drinking, philandering, fashions, office politics, etc were not unique to advertising. Any large firm in any city from that time is depicted in this show. The characters and fashions were also well researched. Happy to relive what, to me, were better times. Good jobs everywhere, good pay, great benefits and lots of advancement beats out all the PC, loss of privilege and part time hours the majority of people now have. We even laughed a lot back then. Really good show.
