 Has Anyone Watched MAD MEN?
Is it as good as every television critic in America would have me believe?

 Re: Has Anyone Watched MAD MEN?
Yeah, the critics have been raving. I haven't watched any of it yet, but I've had the pilot downloaded for a while.

 Re: Has Anyone Watched MAD MEN?
Ended up watching it tonight.
Didn't love it, but it did impress me. Very sharp, and a lot of good work by a few "I know I've seen him/her in something" unknowns.
I'll be catching up with the rest if I have the time.

 Re: Has Anyone Watched MAD MEN?
Ok, this is amazing that the best show currently on television has not gotten any more responses.
Maybe the show's setting is too "old" for most posters on this forum, but the concepts it deals with such as sexism and conformity are as modern as any show set in the present.
A fantastic show that is like a mini-movie every week. Will try and do real review once the season is over.

 Re: Has Anyone Watched MAD MEN?
I didn't expect this, but I am completely and totally hooked on this series. I've watched six episodes so far and cannot stop watching. It's massively addicting, the production values are some of the best on television, the acting is uniformly excellent and the storylines are incredibly intriguing. It definitely lives up to the hype and then some. It's the best new drama I've gotten into since "In Treatment" earlier this year, and one of the best shows on television period. I can't wait to see where it goes and highly recommend it to other members here.

I'm glad. It deserves all the attention it can get. And the season premiere was amazing.

 Re: Has Anyone Watched MAD MEN?
I blind-bought the Blu-ray and at this point... it's interesting. The show's multi-character focus bugs me a little, since there are certain characters I like more than others. I can't really see the storyline stretching for a long period of time, and one of the episodes I've seen (3) seemed pretty weak. That said, the acting's stellar and there really have been moments that were pretty amazing for television.

 Re: Has Anyone Watched MAD MEN?
Each season is going to have 2 or 3 years gap in between (in the show, not real life) so that will help with storyline freshness.
