Mad Men Season 1 (Blu-ray)
|
| | | "What You Are, What You Want, What You Love Doesn't Matter. It's All About How You Sell It."|Where the Truth Lies.
Features: English, Spanish, Dolby Digital (5.1)
In the glamorous and ego-driven world of advertising, everyone is selling something and nothing is ever what it seems. Set in 1960 New York, Mad Men reveals the lives of the ruthlessly competitive men and women of Madison Avenue's "Golden Age," where key players make an art of the sell while their private world gets sold. And no one plays the game better than Don Draper (Golden Globe-winner Jon Hamm), the biggest ad man -- and ladies' man -- in the business.This three disc collection includes all 13 episodes from Season One of Mad Men!
"...in the first episode of his remarkable series, Weiner turns on the gas, lights a match and places his characters on top of a long, slow flame." Andrew Johnston, The House Next Door
"...the pleasures of "Mad Men" refreshingly arise almost wholly from small, impeccably detailed touches." Brian Lowry, Variety
"...breaks new ground while making full use of some of TV's most reliably entertaining plot devices. What more can you ask?" Dan Mancini, DVD Verdict
"These ad men may not be as ruthless as "The Sopranos," but the characters are just as complex, and their lives equally fascinating." James Plath, DVD Town
"...inhabits a world both seductive and sinister, but what sets it apart is the substance behind the shimmering exteriors." Nathan Rabin, The Onion A.V. Club
"...a richly drawn look at the social roles, sexual identity, and disenchantment with the facade that is the American Dream." Sean Axmaker, SeanAx.com
Editor's Note
Matthew Weiner, a writer and executive producer for THE SOPRANOS, may have set this series in the picture-perfect 1960s, but his characters are just as scheming as the mobsters on his last show. MAD MEN begins in 1960 on Manhattan's Madison Avenue at the fictional ad agency of Sterling Cooper. Creative director Don Draper (Jon Hamm) rules the halls of his company and the hearts of every woman he meets, while his wife, Betty (January Jones), struggles to be the perfect mate and mother in a suburb upstate. But just as in the world of advertising, Don may not be all that he appears. In MAD MEN, the glass ceiling is dangerously low, and sexism reigns in a way that may shock modern viewers. But this isn't the prim '60s of THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW; Weiner's characters seduce, smoke, and swig with abandon--often within the walls of Sterling Cooper. MAD MEN takes equal parts substance and style to create an addictive cocktail that fully earned its freshman season wins at the Golden Globes for Best Dramatic Series and Best Actor in a Drama.
