    Was it worth the wait? Are you kidding me? Does London Fog make raincoats?
  2. All the elements Mad Men does well - the humor, the note-perfect clothing and sets, the creeping cultural change - are still there to be savored.

    Try as I might, Mad Men fails to resonate, settle in, tell me something. It can no longer get out of its own way so as to allow its multiple story lines to experience actual forward momentum. (Only the calendar does that.)

    Easily the most addictive TV show I have ever watched. Mad Men says a lot by saying very little.

    I know the show so seeing where the characters are is interesting. But the scenes play flat and do not have any dramatic tension, even when dramatic things are happening. I need to go back and watch, but I feel that season 1 had that and since then she show is slowly becoming less dramatic and more dull. Expand

    I just don't get the appeal of this glacier paced series. Sometmes, when nothing is happening on screen, it doesn't mean that it�39;s deep and thought provoking. It just means that there's nothing happening. Expand
