Best drama on TV August 20, 2008
Do yourself a favor and catch an episode of this show (or just buy the discs on faith). It's the best, smartest, most compelling character drama I have seen on TV in a long time. The period setting puts a clever twist on what would be a compelling show even if set in the modern day. HBO must be killing themselves for passing on this show. Don't make the same mistake!
Perfect in every way imaginable August 6, 2008

Mad Men is one of the best shows I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
Watching this show on blu-ray has been something I will remember for quite some time. I missed the original airing of the show when it came on, and I was looking forward to watching the blu-ray. Once I watched it I feel in love.
As far as a blu-ray goes, this is perfect. The video is amazing, same with the audio, and it is stuffed with extras, including over 18 hours in audio commentary. There is another extra that is 1 hour long that is VERY good, and I recommend checking it out after you finish watching the series.
Overall Rating - 5/5 Stars
Video - 5/5
Audio - 5/5
Bonus - 5/5
Story - 5/5
Bottom line? Buy now!
Amazing show, amazing set design, even more amazing on BD! August 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a truly incredible series - the exacting detail of the art direction and the on-target depiction of the era will blow you away.
John Hamm is perfect as adman Don Draper, January Jones just as good as his suffering wife Betty, and the rest of the cast is amazing as well, especially the always delightful Robert Morse, his smirk and vocal talents as sharp as ever.
What's even better is not only is there no Blu-Ray "price premium" for this title, at the time I'm writing this review the Blu-Ray set is actually selling for LESS than the DVD set.
If you've seen any episodes whatsoever and enjoyed them, or even if you're just curious, you owe it to yourself to pick up this title on BD.
Best drama I have watched in years July 23, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
After missing season 1 in its entirety when it originally aired, I had to see what all the hype was about. I picked up this blu-ray edition of season 1 and all of the hype was well deserved.
Simply put, Mad Men is one of the best shows I have ever watched and without a doubt the best season of television I have seen since the first few seasons of The Sopranos.
The story arc is enthralling, and the talented group of actors do a tremendous job of giving life to every character in the show. For anyone looking for a show that is at times dramatic, funny, shocking, and endearing, but always excellent, look no further. I highly recommend not only this show, but this blu-ray version as it is a tremendous deal for 13, 1-hour episodes.
Speaking of blu-ray, the picture quality is fantastic. Colors bounce off the screen, and those with 1080p sets will be constantly surprised with the level of detail givin to even specs of facial hair, or the weavings of cloth on clothing. This is without a doubt the best 30 bucks I have spend on Amazon. Buy it now!
A Must Buy on Blu Ray July 6, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is one of the best written shows currently on TV. HBO and Showtime were foolish to pass up this amazing show. Mad Men is also brilliantly acted and the costume/set design is fantastic. A must buy on Blu Ray due to the amazing encoding, that makes this slick 60's world look its absolute best. I long for the old days of New York!
