I wrote this a while ago when my Mad Men obsession started. Now I’m on Season 4:
Yes, I’ve only started watching. Yes, I’m hooked. I’ve only watched two and a half episodes of season 1 so far.
First reaction:
People smoked so much !
Men are assholes.
Wow that really is Kiernan Shipka
Why do I identify with the divorcee
When do these women grow up.
There’s something obnoxious about Don Draper being rude to the client in every meeting as if his two and a half okayish quips turn him into some kind of prophet. Are we supposed to admire him or it is supposed to be as hammy as it looks?
There comes a point in every women’s life when she hits the bottom, usually thanks to a man, and then something in her hardens and while this is tragic, there is something glorious about it.
i just couldn’t past season 2, i found nothing interesting or relatable about anyone i just wanted to slap them all and be like GROW FFS CHANGE IN SOME WAY!!!
I love how it portrays that transitional moment before feminism really hit. The people do grow … just very slowly. Weirdly I love so many of the characters, though they’re all flawed.
Well maybe it’s just too slow for me
I have not yet got on the Mad Men band wagon. I still need to get to Breaking Bad.
Why are you not posting? Is it the new job making you work too hard? Congrats!
Yes, it is! Gahhh working as a journalist was easier.
Yesterday I had a sliver of time… wanted to post, but couldn’t for the life of me remember what I wanted to say. Today I remembered but no time.
I’ve been reading and enjoying your posts though.
