DVD Reviews of Mad Men - Season One

DVD Review: mad men, hit sensation of the basic cable
Summary: 5 Stars

best show ever. required viewing. excellent writing. beautiful production. incredible cast of actors. the hit sensation that does not receive enough hype.

DVD Review: Superb Series Let Down By DVD Transfer Problem
Summary: 4 Stars

A superb series but my point for writing this is the DVD transfer. Am I the only one that has noticed that Episode 7 "Red In The Face" on Disc 3 is full of dot-crawl? From the opening credits you can see the red colored titles shimmering (quite severely), just like the bad old days of VHS. In addition to the dot-crawl there also noticeably is less detail. All the other episodes are fine however. What gives? Why has this particular episode been transferred over a composite video cable? Lions Gate, please explain?!

DVD Review: AMAZING Series!
Summary: 5 Stars

Lovely item! Fast Shipping A++

Great series, really takes you back to the time frame in which it was based after. Love the characters and storyline too.

FAB-wardrobe!

DVD Review: Boring! really, really, really boring.
Summary: 1 Stars

Four hours of my life I wish I could have back. Great acting, amazing costumes and sets; unfortunately not one remotely interesting thing happened the entire time I watched (well half watched- I kept falling asleep). Imagine transporting yourself back in time to an ad office and spying on the goings on there; thats all there is to this show! When I watch a show I like to be transported to somewhere more interesting, my real life has more going on than this show!

DVD Review: My favorite show!
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this show! It is smart, funny, sexy and beautiful to watch. From the first episode it grabbed me and I was hooked.

Description of Mad Men - Season One

MAD MEN - SEASON 1 (DVD MOVIE)

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
