Movie Reviews of Mad Men: Season Two
Movie Review: The saga continues
Summary: 5 Stars
Mad Men picks up in season 2 with Peggy managing to keep the birth of her child a secret from the office. This seems unlikely in such a gossipy place but I'm willing to suspend disbelief. Also, we learn more about the whole Don?Dick switch... I'm not sure I can suspend belief THAT much, to where I could believe that the Army wouldn't catch Draper's attempt to trade places with an officer he met. I mean, no one checked his records? Draper didn't know that his new identity is married?
Nevertheless, the production values remain high and as escapist entertainment you would be hard-pressed to find anything better.
Movie Review: We dont get to see this often
Summary: 5 Stars
There are a lot of things we see regularly on TV, but there are those few select ones like the Sopranos, The Wire, Dexter which makes you wait for the next episode or season.
I have already ordered for Season 2 on preorder. This one rocks, the cast, the portayal, the sets, the charachters, the script, editing, camera work, and Jon Hamm.
This is not the normal run of the mill plots, the screenplay, music, everthing that tells you of those rarely perfectly packed 50 minutes of delight.
There is a twist in the tale with every episode, emotions, jealosy, typical of lives in the US
Movie Review: 5 Stars for the show, 3 for the packaging....
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't need to tell you how great Season 2 was, but I'm a bit worried about the packaging for it. What's basically a shirt-box with the DVD set inside, I'll have to handle this with baby hands so the plastic window doesn't get punctured. I was hoping for something more along the lines of the durable Zippo lighter case that Season 1 came in, just to keep this series in "uniform" in my DVD cabinet. I remember getting ticked when FOX started making those horrible plastic head cases for the Simpsons after a few seasons. I'd prefer that a particular series keep the same/similar design for every season they produce.Movie Review: Great TV
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that mad men only improved as it went into season 2. Sometimes dramas can pull off a good first season and then they fall apart. Not so with mad men. Very captivating, intelligent, humorous, and awesome TV. I do feel that it is best to watch season 1 first since season 2 builds on the characters in season 1. mad men also, interestingly, makes me grateful for the world i live in today.
One of the few great tv series that is great to own so you can watch it again and again.
DVD extras are not something i have explored yet so I can't comment on them.
Enjoy
Movie Review: The Makings of a Great Show
Summary: 5 Stars
DVD is a great venue for watching Mad Men without commercial interruption and with amazing commentary. The show is a perfect example of great television. Characters who have depth and provide a voice to a deeper inner insight into human character. Great sets that highlight the best of early 60s design and clothes that set off the time period in a interesting manner. I was put off by the 1st season a bit because of the coldness I saw in the characters and saw them as archetypes rather than more human. This season the show really seems to get going and becomes more interesting. I enjoyed every bit of it.
