What should I expect from AMC Mad Men?

[valet]

I'm sure there is a thread on this but I can't find it (not referring to this season thread). What should I expect from this show. I'm 4 episodes in and all I see so far is talking and people having affairs? Are there some major twists that are coming up that will surprise me? If not, what will be the appeal? Not trying to give just wondering?

nothing that interesting. i didn't even make it past the first season. it's a good show, i suppose...it's just not for me.

Same thing happened with me. Made it through a few episodes and realized the show wasn't for me. shyt was boring.

Three weeks ago I started season 1, I'm caught up now, and for me season 1 and two were tough to get thru.

Completely understand ur feeling on how u feel like there isn't shyt happening. Felt the same way and still do. I'm just curious whats gonna happen in the last season

Show's not really moved by the plot it's the characters.

If you're not feeling the characters and how they change through the 60s you probably won't like the show.

I never force anyone to watch like the other greats because of this. But if you get into it there's not much better writing and acting out there in a entertainment format.

So if I finish up season 2 will I see this growth?

can be seen as kind of slow, and you'd probably only appreciate it if you're into character development, SMART dialogue, then this show is for you

Personally, I love it, and consider it part of my holy trinity (MM, Sopranos, BB); just getting into the wire based on feedback from and here, so we'll see if I replace one of the 3 with The Wire

its a slow burner. a lot of affairs and cigarette smoke, and drinking on the job. if you are into art and the evolution of marketing you will prolly enjoy it. I watched it for joan's big ass titties and ass. I eventually lost interest after 3rd season.....

I liked the show from the beginning but each season is pretty much better than the last.

if u work in an office setting with a woman with big ass titties that's basically Mad Men



not worth a watch imo
