Product Description
Critically hailed as ‘the planet’s coolest TV drama’ (The Times), Mad Men, winner of three consecutive Golden Globes and back-to-back Emmys for Outstanding Drama Series, is a darkly humourous look at the incredible advertising minds dictating the American Dream in the late 50s and 60s. Hard drinking, chain smoking, over-sexed and smoulderingly stylish, the Madison Avenue pioneers sell an ideal they are struggling to achieve in their own lives. Mad Men is a sexy, stylish and shocking portrait of a time that was anything but innocent. Nothing is as sexy. Nothing is as provocative. Nothing is as it seems.
Winner of an incredible thirteen Emmys, four Golden Globes and a BAFTA, Mad Men is the groundbreaking series that critics are calling one of TV’s best ever dramas. Contains all 52 episodes of the four award-winning seasons.

Everyone seemed to be talking about Mad Men, a show I'd never seen, so I figured I would check it out. OMG! I absolutely loved it and can't believe I missed this when it was on tv. Beautifully shot, gorgeous styling, great storylines, funny and dark all at the same time... and a little bit of a history lesson too. I have told everyone I know to get it! Cannot wait for season 5!!!

At last a TV series you can enjoy watching for several reasons, for the very talented actors and actresses, for the perfect locations and renditions of the 60s, for the soundtrack as well as for all the vintage details in it.
Only one suggestion: please, don't believe you are dealing with a true and faithful documentary of the era, here.
Although this is a very carefully crafted work, it is just a fictional reintepretation of 60s life, as seen through modern and contemporary disillusioned viewers'eyes like ours.
Maybe it's just sort of a nostalgic reflection of the iconic image we made of those years, as filtered by our memory.
All'n' all a brilliant reflection, indeed!
On a more technical side, this box set includes 12 discs featuring all of the first 4 seasons of the show at a very convenient bargain price. Also they include nice extras about topics of the era plus a special commentary by author Matthew Weiner.
Now, dim all the lights, insert the dvd, pour some good wine into your glass and... enjoy your trip along that magical Avenue!
