What about Mad Men?

[cgallery]

All the talk of TV shows recently makes me bring this one up. I just started watching it this season, and have some catching up to do. It apparently won quite a few Emmy's.

I've always been fascinated by advertising. But it is really more a show about 1960's life in a corporate world, with an emphasis on fashion and style, and a little bit of advertising mixed in.

I especially like the sets and the coloring. The artistic director has a keen (and I imagine expensive) eye.

All that said, I don't know if I like it yet. I think I wish they'd emphasise more 60's corporate drama over the tangential melodrama.

It's a lot like a prime time soap opera, but it can be very amusing, esp. if you grew up in that period. A lot of nostalgia with the companies they are doing ads for etc.

Exactly, I wish it was a little more like a documentary and a little less like a soap.

I actually tried watching it a few times but thought it was too much like a soap. I also have no nostalgic connection given that I was born after the time period the show is set in.
