1960's New York City. In the glamorous and ego-driven world of advertising, everyone is selling something and nothing is ever what it seems. Reveals the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue's "Golden Age," where key players make an art of the sell while their private world gets sold. And no one plays the game better than Don Draper, the biggest ad man--and ladies' man--in the business.
DVD, widescreen (1.78:1) presentation; Dolby DTS HD 5.1 surround, 1080p High Definition.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Groundbreaking show submitted by BurntSaori on August 9, 2018, 9:55am Because I can't put it better than Alessandra Stanley for the NYT:

"The magic of “Mad Men” is that it softly spoofs those cruel, antiquated mores without draining away the romance of that era: the amber-lit bars and indigo nightclubs, soaring skyscrapers, smoky railway cars and the brash confidence that comes with winning a war and owning the world. It’s a sardonic love letter to the era that wrought “The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit” and “The Best of Everything,” but homage is paid with more affection than satire."
