Mad Men

Mad Men is, stylistically, one of the best shows on tv. Not only are the costumes and fashions beautiful, but so are the colors and themes. The actors and actresses fit so perfectly in the 1960s setting that it's amazing that they belong to the 2000s.

I also find it cool that Don Draper, the main character, is so flawed. He lives a far from perfect life, but if you ever met him for the first time, you'd never be able to tell. His personal life is a mess, but his professional life is flourishing. It's a common issue that has been rarely addressed in shows of the past, but seems to be a much more prominent theme now.

While much of what happens in Mad Men may be a little over the top, I believe that everyone could relate to just one character. The bored housewife, the philandering husband, the pre-feminist feminist, the determined young man who will do anything to get ahead... the list goes on and on. These characters can all be found in real life, but the amusing thing to figure out who falls where.
