Can you mofos explain to me the appeal of Mad Men? I tried watching it (tru just the pilot) but found it so misogynist I couldn’t keep watching. I feel like I must’ve gotten the wrong impression since so many women seem to like it?
Not a big fan either. I respect the work that goes into capturing the time period, but I think most of the characters are assholes and there’s not really enough story to go around.
completely agreed with both. the only people i know that like it are women. i’ve watched a few episodes, and it just seems to tried too hard to capture the period, but not hard enough to actually make something happen.
Great acting, great writing, character development, etc. Just the usual stuff that makes up a great series. Plus I enjoy seeing the clothes and the honest representation of what that era must have been like, seeing as it was before my time to have experienced what it was like in person.
