What do you guys think of Mad Men?
First of all, I’ve already watched Breaking Bad, Mr. Robot, and The Sopranos (and I’m currently watching Better Call Saul).
I’m on the seventh episode of the first season, and holy shit, it’s so good. It’s been getting better and better since episode five. Everything about it charms me, but especially the dynamics. Don is such an enigmatic protagonist who perfectly critiques that toxic masculinity (a theme I’m really interested in).
The characters are also charming, and they all have SO much potential.
The advertising setting is also very fun to me.
And the acting... holy shit.
The problem is that I’m watching it with my brother, so the pace is VERY slow. I wanted to watch it today, but it didn't work out 😭. For the sake of comparison, I started on March 25th. Anyway, I miss the show already because the last episode was the best one so far.
The 60s aesthetic also really enchants me.
So, I’ve already seen many great series (as I mentioned), and I’m watching BCS right now, which I think will become my #1 favorite. But I don’t know, Mad Men has something special; when I finish it in a year or so, it’ll probably be my #1.
I’ve been spoiled on something from Season 5 (5x12, I think). It doesn’t discourage me, but in your opinion, does it ruin much?
Anyway, what do you think of the show? Have you watched it? Do you want to?
