DVD Reviews of Mad Men - Season One

DVD Review: Life as it was....and wasn't.
Summary: 5 Stars

Mad Men is the best kept secret on TV.

This is a show that results in sensory overload. It is a look back to a time in our nation's history that is both melancholy and reprehensible at the same time. It shows that the 50's and early 60's weren't as simple as those of us old enough tend to wax about. To the contrary it was a time when everyone smoked, men wore hats, women lived in corsets and girdles, and alcohol was consumed as if it was water.

Ye t it was also a time of change. A period when minorities were just beginning to be treated as "real humans" and women were trying to be viewed as equals. The show is dark, quiet and smooth....seamless. The characters are well thought out and each has their own complex and intriguing plot. A must see.

DVD Review: Mad Men- Season One
Summary: 2 Stars

The movie came in a timely manner, but it skips about 30 minutes - 1.5 hour sections on the DVD. I am going to read about sending it back. Love the movies though.

DVD Review: Mad Men
Summary: 5 Stars

This show is way cooler without the commercials. I recommend to all 40-something folks and up. The set and prop detail is amazing.

DVD Review: This TV series is totally addictive!
Summary: 5 Stars

After I watched the first episode, I couldn't wait for the rest. Mad Men takes you into the crazy world of Madison Avenue in the late 1950s-early 1960s -- a time when everyone smoked and drank all the time, sex in the office was rampant, and bored suburban wives worried as their husbands bedded their secretaries. While it's a bit of an exaggeration, the amazing thing is (and I am old enough to remember) that there is a lot of truth in the picture that is so skillfully drawn by this series. The acting is terrific and the use of music is really excellent. Recommend!

Description of Mad Men - Season One


Genre: Television: Series
Rating: NR
Release Date: 1-JUL-2008
Media Type: DVD

Welcome to a world where Monday has a three drink minimum.? Mad Men exists here and it's a fabulous place to visit, back before Betty Friedan's Feminine Mystique really made much of an impact and before the Surgeon General put warning labels on cigarettes. It was an America on the brink of social explosion and Mad Men, which tells the story of a group of Madison Avenue advertising executives in the early 1960s, captures that surface stillness perfectly, complete with the growing tension barely contained below the surface.?

The show succeeds on every level. HBO famously passed on Mad Men, created by former Sopranos executive producer and writer Matthew Weiner.? AMC picked it up, and thank goodness they did. From the first episode, Season One becomes an essential, utterly addictive television- watching experience. Beautifully filmed and masterfully written, the show manages to present the period honestly but with little nostalgia, and as soon as you get over the constant smoking, drinking and treatment of women as little more than "girls" who get coffee and answer the phone, the complexity of these characters (especially the dashing Jon Hamm as Creative Director Don Draper) will leave you completely captivated. Season One features clandestine office romances, shadowy pasts, a ton of adultery, closeted homosexuality and a lot more drama that seems risqu? even for 2008. But again, one of the most impressive things about Mad Men is that everything is executed with absolute class, style and elegance.? And bonus for the DVD viewer: Like The Sopranos, Mad Men has a ton of little moments and hints leading up to character revelations and plot twists that make watching the episodes over and over continually rewarding.? ?--Kira Canny
