Movie Reviews of Mad Men: Season Two
Movie Review: Best tv series ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I started watching Mad men during its second season after hearing raves about it from friends and relatives. I am in my seventies and can say without equivocation that this is the best tv series ever. I do not let any show become a must-see, except perhaps Masterpiece Theater. However I eagerly awaited Sunday evenings and was sorry to see season three end. This is the first series I have ever purchased and enjoy watching it. The acting is superb and the writing is beyond excellent.The scenes and depiction of the fifties and sixties is so true. As a college student in the late fifties on the east coast, I know those places, attitudes and yes even the clothes. So authentic. The price at Amazon was reasonable. If you want good theatre, get this series. Nostalgia, drama, even humor, Kudos to Matthew Weiner et all. Award worthy.Movie Review: My Favorite Show!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't understand how anyone could rate this show below a 4. I was tempted to click on the 6 reviews that gave it one star - but then I realized it would make me too angry to read the nonsense that they had written.
The characters in Mad Men are complex and interesting. One minute you are on their side and the next, you're cursing them out. I find that I can relate to every single one of the characters' struggles.
All of the dramatic and sometimes amusing events that unfold are done with absolutely beautiful sets, costumes, and cinematography. The soundtrack is always amazing and right on point. After each episode - I feel inspired to create art or redecorate the house, or dress up. Not many shows have that effect on me!
Movie Review: Mad Men Season 2: Much, much more than an encore
Summary: 5 Stars
What sets Mad Men apart and above all the other dramatic series? In addition to the excellent plotting, direction and characterization, Mad Men as a series doesn't patronize the viewer's intelligence. We the audience can draw our own inferences, and make our own connections. This is the first series in many years which actually assumes that the viewer can be entertained while still using her/his analytical thinking. British television mastered this combination long ago. Now, fortunately we have Mad Men, Season 1, Season 2 and Season 3.
I only hope that Maggie Siff as Rachel reappears in Season 3. Of all Don Draper's amorous liaisons, his relationship with Rachel is the most complex and interesting.
Movie Review: Best Drama
Summary: 5 Stars
It's easy for me to understand why Mad Men is winning all these awards. The premise is a good one: ad men of 60's New York. It's interesting to note the way women of that era dressed, acted, and, most important of all, were treated by men. Practically everyone smokes, drinks and cheats on their spouses. Peggy's a great character, a woman who seemed so innocent at first but has proven herself to be as tough as the guys she works with. Don Draper's past is a secret, and I'm hoping we learn more about his past and why he took another man's name. His wife's finally showing some backbone, although she's turned out to be quite the manipulator. All in all, a very good show, one I love to watch.Movie Review: "I'm enjoying the story so far, but I have a feeling it's not going to end well."
Summary: 5 Stars
I am as skeptical about super-hyped TV shows as the next guy, and I entered Mad Men with a healthy doubt, but whatever concerns might have lingered at the end of the first year, Mad Men: Season 2 has completely erased them. A complex, nourishing drama, Mad Men charts the social upheaval of the 1960s through the changes it effects on the characters. With Jon Hamm's portrayal of Don Draper, a man who is still only beginning to reveal his true depths, Matthew Weiner has found the perfect axis on which the rest of his universe spins. This four-disc boxed set is packed to the gills with extras--some good, some bad--and makes for a truly special package.
