Movie Reviews of Mad Men: Season Two
Movie Review: Still madly entertaining, and delving deeper into Don Draper
Summary: 5 Stars
This is still one of the most entertaining shows on TV, with each episode having the look and feel of a film. The actors are as superb as ever, with Jon Hamm going deeper into the character of Don Draper (Dick Whitman), his past, the wife of the man he accidentally knocked off, and his extramarital dalliances. The Draper kids and their perpetually dissatisfied, sometimes mean, and rather cold mother get more screen time, while the character of Peggy Olsen really shines this time around as the season culminates in her revelation to the oily Peter Campbell.
Christina Hendricks is also a powerhouse as office manager Joan, whose fiancee turns out to be less than desirable, while the supporting cast members turn in solid work all around.
The soundtrack is always appropriate, and it's a fascinating look at the world as it was nearly 50 years ago, Cuban missile crisis and all.
Madly intriguing.
Movie Review: Very pleasing series
Summary: 5 Stars
Great actors, good storylines written for major as well as secondary characters, a fingerlickingly good looking historical setting, this is one of the best shows I caught this year, and in this decade. I note this with Sons of Anarchy and Terminator Chronicles season II as the best show this year ( not counting the awesome John Adams miniseries from HBO because it is a miniseries). I see no difference in quality between season 1 and 2. John Hamm is superb as the lead character, but further kudo's have to go to the characters of Roger Sterling, Pete Campbell, Salvatore, Peggy and most certainly the incredibly attractive Joan.
5 stars fully deserved, very pleasing to see this show from the former Sopranos writer, another show I enjoyed a great deal. Season 3 on dvd please, and please don't let it take 9 months again ( and it probably will, undoubtedly due to foreign rights).
Movie Review: Great second season
Summary: 5 Stars
If you liked Mad Men in its first seson, you will love the second season. We continue to see the life of these Madison Avenue men who live their hard boozing and womanizing lives while defining new territories in advertising. We also obersve the effects on their entourage, wives, secretaries etc. The series continues to concentrate on Don Darper who continues his time as a creative genius at Sterling Cooper all while suffering the effects of success: high blood pressure, excessive drinking. Overall the writing has improved and the season is somewhat less bleak than at the beginning. It provides perfectly a sense of the era it represents: the 60's. All the characters are strongly played, especially the women who are not just side characetrs as they sometimes are in such series. This is clearly the best series around at the moment so do not hesitate: it is indispensable.Movie Review: MAD FOR MAD MEN TV SERIES
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been with Mad Men since its inception. I truly am a fan. The writers of this series are phenominal. The actors are really good and my gosh, for what some lack in acting ability, their beauty or handsome looks does suffice. I ordered Series one and two from Amazon and enjoy reviewing the reruns. Seems every time I watch them, I find something I missed.
I would recommend this series set from Amazon to anyone who has never seen the Mad Men series and to those who are true fans...this is a must!
Thank you AMAZON for the great price on the series set...truly a bargin!
I like doing business with AMAZON, they are prompt, courteous, and always eager to please their customers...guess that is the reason they have soooooo many. I recommend them highly. Thank you for allowing me to share my opinion. Becky W McNemar, honeymc@att.net
Movie Review: Another Season...Another Emmy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mad Men continues to dazzle its viewers with scripts that capture the glory years of advertising. Doyle Dane Bernbach was the agency to work at then, the big daddy that fictional Sterling Cooper emulates every Sunday evening on Mad Men. Take a look at "Nobody's Perfect: Bill Bernbach and the Golden Age of Advertising," a new book written by Doris Willens, DDB's public relations director for 18 years. In its review of Ms. Willens book, the trade publication AdWeek states, "It does seem the show's (Mad Men's) writers are taking chapters straight out of the DDB playbook." So, if you like Mad Men, you'll love "Nobody's Perfect..." Don't just take my word for it....check out the reviews.Nobody's Perfect: Bill Bernbach and the Golden Age of Advertising
