i really enjoyed the first season and look forward to seeing how it progresses.
the fact that this industry needs the reinforcement of the creative-director-as-auteur archetype like we need a hole in the head is beside the point...
- exactly, its not *really* about advertising anywaykelpie

Was talking to a friend about it the other day. I can't stop watching this show, and i can't figure out why. There really isn't that much going on or a dramatic story line.

most of ad folks dont really give a crap bout this show.
maybe because we have heard THIS story WAY too many times.

... from your two's comments... I'll go w/my gut feeling.

They should have set it in the 80's. More drugs, more women and more money.
- MrD0
i agree
80s would have been more fun

Gotta say, I'm at complete odds with my initial statement. This show has evolved (or maybe I have with it) into one of the best shows on TV, up there with The Wire and The Sopranos. The last episode, 107, was flawlessly brilliant.

Better than most TV, but still left a lot to be desired. Definitely not up to HBO snuff.

Creative Directors running around in 3 piece suits, chain-smoking, and sexually harassing women gets old quick.

I really like this show.
I can see how it might be to slow for some people, but im ok with slow story lines.
I love the way its filmed, not to mention the way the sets and wardrobe looks.
I would like for it to be more griping, right now its a good show but Im not dying to see whats next....
+ its funny to see people act this way at work, I am always hearing about how it used to be back in the day.. smoking, drinking and smacking your secretaries ass was all in good fun.
shit sign me up for that.

It's really good, I'm hooked on season 1 I started watching only two weeks ago.
Love the bygone tiny details of the 60's, like the creators were winking at us.
Drunk driving, carrying a rifle to the office, children playing with a plastic bag the size of them as a spacesuit.
All covered in cigarette smoke.On Kennedy: "He doesn't even wear a hat."

Last night's show was great...intense. The dynamic between Don Draper and his wife is interesting and I can't wait to see what's going to happen with the slime ball who is eyeing Don's job.
