Review - Mad Men, Season 1

[akaihyo]

Watched this over the last week or so, Mad Men, Season 1. Set at an advertising agency in New York in 1960, a very accurate period piece while also being a compelling drama. The show gets all of the period details right and uses actual advertising campaigns as the 'finished product' that the fiction firm turns out. Engaging characters, interesting plots, good production values though with some soap opera elements. Overall, an excellent show. My Grade: B/B+
