Terrific and very unique - Rating: 5/5
A thoroughly excellent show, although I must say that at that time men were not so uniformly arrogant, women not nearly so passive, nor was smoking quite so ubiquitous. These aspects are overemphasized I believe in order to set up a sharper contrast to the societal changes that the show is starting to explore as it moves forward in time. We are also just beginning to understand the main characters as the layers of the onion are slowly peeled away.
Simply an outstanding, very unique show with superb acting and scripts. I love it.
Surpasses most feature films on Blu-Ray - Rating: 5/5
I caught a couple episodes on cable and thought the show was exceptional, but after you take out the commercials and throw in the pristine quality of HD this series beats most of the movies I've seen on Blu-Ray. The plots, the actors, the period design - all are amazing. Not owning this would be a sin for any Blu-Ray owner. This show resembles an epic film of 60s American life rather than a TV series. The jokes about electric typewriters and carousel slide projectors when they were cutting edge technology as well as the infidelities of the chauvinistic jet set captures the time. I can't help but play an entire disc as soon as I start playing the first episode on it. I can't wait for Season Two to be released on Blu-Ray.
Mad Men great quality for BluRay - Rating: 5/5
The quality of this season 1 of Mad Men on Blu-ray is very good. Which is fitting for the very good production of this series.
A Question about regional compatibility ! - Rating: 5/5
First, this isn't a review as such - just a question whether the Mad Men blu ray Dvd's can be played on blu ray players or P.S.3's in Europe ?
The info. here says ' Region 1 USA and Canada only ' - but a lot of these discs do play outside the American coding regions.
Have been watching Series 2 in the UK which has just conclude - one of the best programmes on TV !
Can anyone help here please ?
Come on, how can you not love Mad Men? - Rating: 5/5
By far one of the best, most unexpected, unapologetic scripts out there in the current tv offerings, Mad Men will be hailed along the lines of MASH, Homicide, and LOST as one of the best TV shows in history.
