Anybody else into Mad Men??

I recently discovered this show through Netflix and I'm up to the second season, SHOW IS AWESOME! Don't spoil anything for me, just conversation haha

I'm liking it, but I'm really hating the delay for season 5.lamprey263

I've seen the first two seasons, but I haven't liked it that much. I'm deeply concerned for every married couple that watches this show because I think it encourages adultery, although maybe not deliberately.Genetic_Code

i got about 2 and a half seasons in and at first i thought it was awesome then it got boring so i stopped watching it.

Excellent show from what I've seen, I need to watch it get back and watch it thoroughly though.

Nope not really tbh

Yes.I love it.Waiting for season 5.When is it coming?

I absolutely love that show.

Like Dan.D.The series is fabulous

I watched the first episode, but didn't really get into it. Maybe i'll give it another go.

Yep I do, although I didn't start watching until season 3. I love how it shows the blatant alcoholism of the late 50's/early 60's where a special drinking occasion was just visiting another coworker's office.

I can't wait until the new season starts.

Honestly...no. I think it's well-made, but a show has to have high stakes for me to get emotionally involved with it. By that I mean the consequences for failure have to be severe. Let's look at the consequences for failure in these different shows:

• The Sopranos: Somebody or several somebodies get killed.
• Babylon 5: Dark powers rule the galaxy.
• Mad Men: Somebody looks foolish in public or maybe gets fired.

I watched some of the first season and lost interest.

Same story as you. Discovered it on Netflix and watched all the episodes in the ensuing weeks. Pretty good show.

It was good until season 4(not much going on)

Babylon 5 is ahistorical, is it?

Yeah its one of my favorite series. I really need to finish season 4 before the next season comes out.

As Don Draper so elegantly put it: What?

I liked it at first but I feel after two seasons and a half that the show doesn't really go anywhere. If half the characters die, I don't think I would honestly care. Breaking Bad, now that's a good show.

Never really tried to get into it, seen walking dead and breaking bad and both are good shows imho. If mad men is like them I will try it out.

Haven't seen it but I've heard good things about it.

I hope Mad Men takes the Emmy tonight. It really deserves it after the last season which was maybe the best. And if Jon Hamm doesn't win...I'll punch my TV.

Hamm submitted The Suitcase and there's no Bryan Cranston this year. As nice as it would be to see FNL/Kyle Chandler get some recognition, the only way Hamm doesn't win is if there are some Jon Cryer-winning-best-actor-in-a-comedy-level shenanigans.

Yea, it is. Ahistorical = not pertaining to historynitroRCman

I think I'd use the term "non-historical," but whatever. The histrocity of a show does not relate to the "stakes" as I described them. I enjoyed Rome, which was a period piece and had some action.

I watched the first 2 or 3 episodes and it wasn't really clicking with me. I see the appeal, but it's just not something that I'd get into.
