I'm about to begin the journey!
Former Member Its brilliant Sweet and it gets better series by series. You sort of slowly fall in love with the characters. Mad Men is my favourite tv series of all time, beating The Wire, ER, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos - yep its better than those i.m.o I'm not one for rewatching stuff but Mad Men I'll happily sit and watch through again and again to savour it [ more ]

Former Member "Mrs BlinkingHell" It was excellent wasn't it. WOW indeed. The pace of this series seems upped a bit, theres so much going on, and all the different strands beautifuly woven together. [ more ]
Xochi This is what I just posted on Will's blog but it's a work in progress! "Also mourning the future loss oldmuskrat But WOW! What a great episode! It just all gets better and better!

Xochi Episode 8: Souvenir Well! What a fascinating episode! To anyone watching it for the first time it would have looked like a dull cross between 'Stepford Wives' and 'Desperate Housewives'! However, it was suffused with all the usual, almost subliminal nuances. The main angle it came from was to scene shift from the office to the 'burbs. You could foresee a snore-fest after the last episode. How wrong could you be! To me it became a stark contrast between Don's waning moon and Betty's rising... [ more ]
Former Member Reference: Well! That was a bit of handbrake turn after last week's episode! Suddenly I'm thrown back into chaos about Don!

Former Member Very interesting take, thanks Xochiquetzal . What an episode! I also need to rewatch them / err "savour" them. Don's treatment of Peggy - surprisingly 50's throwback - although he softened it with encouragement at the end. I wonder did fate later on deal him a hand for his hubris. At the peak of his swagger he was scammed + thumped. Hillbilly dad also appeared in his subconscious to cut Don down to size. Also phenobarbitol? What kind of recreational drug is that? Was that what Betty was... [ more ]
