it's mainly about this guy that works for a major ad agency in the 50s and on. they tried to make an accurate representation of what it was like back then; with pervasive sexism, racism, homophobia, alcohol, and cigarettes. i suck at writing, but it's fucking awesome go watch it once you finish seeing breaking bad. you won't be disappointed.

I just started watching this while I work--3 discs through the first season.

It's goddamned amazing. Like, I'm usually a bit wary of TV shows that get really culturally hyped, but this actually surpassed my expectations, at least so far. The writing is amazing--every major character is complex and interesting, even when they're being despicable.

The fashion is great too. Some of those dresses... damn.

keep going! every season has been consistently excellent.

debaserr · 09-05-2010, 11:48 PM

in reference to tonight's episode: i saw this coming and i love it.
