Yes nigger. watch it.
It's probably the best tv show of all time but not a lot happens if you need action in your show
Unironically the greatest show ever created
What shows do you enjoy? It's incredibly good, but like everything else it's not for everybody.
Preachy, pretentious and padded out. Don't understand why people get so wet over it
i watched season 1 while it was airing and didnt think much of it and stopped. giving it another chance now and loving it.
>A+ casting and acting from everyone
>writing filled with hilarious jokes that aren't cheesy one-liners
>wide range of characters who develop in genuinely realistic and satisfying ways
>deals with plenty of themes without being too one-sided or obvious about anything, putting the story and its characters first
>beautiful art decoration and mannered cinematography separates it from other bland shakey-cam dramas
>subtle symbolism and character nuances rewards rewatches
It's the greatest tv drama of all time next to
It's a garbage power fantasy for people who will never accomplish anything with their lives.
Pure trash, not even Hendricks makes it worth a watch.
was pretty good up until the six hundred and fifty seventh cigarette being lit in the first episode, the show is trash
no other series is on its level, it makes The Wire and The Sopranos look like capeshit
Does the show completely ignore her milkers?
it hits you over the head with IT'S THE 60s LOOK AT ALL THE STUFF THEY DID THAT WE NOW KNOW IS WRONG at first
if that is bugging you, don't worry they ease off it. the show gets better, and probably is best in season 4 but it was pretty good all the way to the end.
if you're not liking it, put it off and try again in a year or so. I had some false starts but it clicked eventually. People rave about it and it raises your expectations too much. It's pretty good when you come around to it. You overlook its faults and you'll dig it.
Just watch OP and see for yourself Somebody can't make a t.v show good or bad by telling you so. You be da judge nigga.
I'm a busy man
I went in full of doubt but I couldn't stop watching this kino, I'm glad at some point I just decided to put on the first episode
>Is Mad men actually good?
no
skip it.
NOTHING HAPPENS.
its comfy if you like nostalgia.
>Is Mad men actually good?
No. It's basically protagonist solves the big problem just in time with sex alcohol and cigarettes. Dropped it after 4 episodes
It's like Sopranos except without the mafia thing and with an ad agency thing instead. And there's a lot less ad agency thing compared to mafia things in Sopranos. So it's sort of like Sopranos but with 50% more of Carmela, AJ, Meadow and such at the cost of mafia side.
It's a show made for boomers to wax nostalgic about that time they destroyed the future of America.
No, shitty mysterbox style 2 deep 4 u moments with no pay off.
Good selection of girls to look at though and decent 60s style and stuff. Bad writing
They don’t develop at all faggot. Sterling is a drinker and smoker who has a heart attack and gets all ‘I need to change my lifestyle’ but then the next episode it’s completely forgotten.
jesus christ
its the best tv show of all time in terms of writing, acting, and photography, but zoomers cannot into kino so they think nothing happens
Either you barely watched 1 season, or you're too autistic to notice how he changed and deepened over the series. Either way pic related is you.
You have a child’s brain
No woman will ever flash me a smile like that ;_;
She get's called a madame of a Shanghai whorehouse once
>AMC
garbage for housewifes and jews. laughably bad scenes akin to Dexter.
another time some Japs ponder in their native tongue "How does she not fall over"
no don't watch
Yea Forums likes it because they idolize a sexual assualter
wat
>man who has hot women walk up to him and basically beg to fuck is a sexual assaulter
Yeah, okay.
it shows how heterosexual mingling used to work before everything was rape
Greatest tv show of all time and nothing else even comes close
the red headed one has huge tits. only good reason to watch it
short answer: no. long answer: you could watch both banshee and spartacus in less time than it would take you to watch all of mad men and you'll have a much better time doing so.
>show answer: no. long answer: yes
fixed
Already finished both homie
Just look at this thread, all the memelords hate the show.
Are you a meme lord?
>shilling a mediocre at best, period based drama that ended half a decade ago
do you want to watch something with a bunch of characters you'll despise?
>hating based grimy little pimp
>Is Mad men actually good? I don't want to get tricked by Yea Forums into watching another shitty show.
It's a great tv show. If you like dramas you will like it. Don't buy into the memers lies.
2nd only to the Sopranos
I watched Mad Men twice so far, I don't have time you waste on your juvenile gay fantasies.
if you like cape(shit/kino), then read Atlas Shrugged. If you like it, watch Mad Men.
a forward young man said she walks around looking like she wants to get raped
>I watched Mad Men twice so far,
holy shit have sex
They're a major plot point. Not even kidding
I've never seen a tv series as boring as Mad Men. Literally nothing happens: the show
It's incredible, but you can only start to appreciate after you hit 25-30
It's a character show. You either watch it for them or you don't.
how do I get his hair?
I mean, shortly thereafter, she gets mugged at gun point by a nigger and gets instantly horny...
I tried the first season and wasn't too impressed.
It's slow-burn kino, if you don't like it then you're effectively still a child.
>Mass replying
Isn't that what life is?
T. Fedora tipping underage who hasn't seen the Sopranos
Slight dip in quality halfway through and a less than perfect ending. Still the second best show of all time.
Is that the dude from LA Noire in the back?
No, its not. It goes nowhere for 6 agonising seasons of nothing happening.
yes. a ridiculous amount of actors from mad men were in LA noire
It's wish fulfilment fantasy for people who work in the media. Don Draper is the ultimate ad-man, able to figure out how to sell any product to any market. Everyone listens in awe as he talks. He's always right. Nobody ever challenges his opinion or asks "who ass are you pulling your facts out of?" His only problems are that too many women want to fuck him.
He's like Patrick Bateman without the self-awareness.
Except Ginsberg, Peggy and Ted all openly challenge him on creative.
>He doesn't mention his LSD phase
Yep, you're just a guy who can't perceive a character arc that gradually develops over a few seasons.
Unironically the best show ever. I've watched a LOT of tv series. All of the classics, underrated gems, you name it. But when I look back on them, I realize that it was time wasted and nothing more. Mad Men is the only show where, whenever I think of it, a bittersweet feeling washes over me. If I could only pick one show to "keep", it'd be Mad Men.

Mad Men is almost perfect.
Imagine a show where the writers table asked themselves not "I want to do this bullshit how do we contrive that happening?" and instead asked themselves "how would this character react to this situation?".
holy shit, a real live pleb.
Why can't Weiner do it again?
it's very good, but ultimately suffers in comparison with the Sopranos. the best series are 3-5, because that's where the show gets the most mileage out of subtly depicting the character's dated attitudes to gender, race, politics, etc.
the trouble with the show is that much of the time it is so close to being a pure wish-fulfillment fantasy that it is barely distinguishable from one. outside of the best seasons it has the friendship simulator, padding and nostalgia elements of a network show. I do like the actual ending, but the cynicism was probably lost on much of the audience.
he got lowkey metoo'd
This tbqh.
Watch it, also watch Six Feet Under.
I only watched the first season, but mafia stuff bores me to tears. I'm sure it's a great show but not my thing.
