Madly in Love

I don't know who is not MADLY in love with this show. And especially madly in love with the Drapers. They are hands-down tv's sexiest couple-- screwed up, yes, but sexy nonetheless. I keep trying to force my brother to watch this show, as I am convinced it will as least come close to his love of The Sopranos (also written by Matthew Weiner). I must own the seasons, ASAP.



If you are not already watching Mad Men, you must be MAD! Note to new viewers: Watch the show from the beginning (rent it, stream it online, netflix, iTunes, etc.) and have patience. The beginning is slow. The show is never particularly full of "action", but it is a story of undertones and day-to-day. The setting in the '60s, the styles, the outfits are to die for, for the ladies. For guys watching the show, it is very much like Sopranos, the struggle of the alpha male to have it all or have a conscience. The interesting inside of the ad world, skewed politics, lack of PC and office-appropriate behavior, sexism and racism are all themes that bring some reality and historical value to the drama series.

Just tune in!
