One of the best shows on TV is about to start up again, and would you beleive, it's on AMC. Mad Men is hands down the best photographed television show on the air right now. The quality of the cinematography along with top notch set direction and costume design allows you to seamlessly enter the advertising world of the 1950s where all is not what it seems to be on the surface.

Don Draper is one of the most compelling characters ever created for the small screen. He rules this world of petty office politics, shady dealings, guilt-free adultery and consequence free behavior writ large (smoking, drinking, fucking, etc.). On the surface his life seems perfect. He's rich, well-respected, good-looking, has a beautiful wife and family with a large house in suburbs, but underneath there's trouble. His home life is unsatisfying. He sends his wife to therapy. Every ad job is potential bombshell that could torpedo his career if he can't wow his clients. He has colleagues who are trying to undermine him and steal his job and his office. And he's not who he says he is.

Anyway, the show is great, you should check it out. The first season should be on DVD and the second season starts this Sunday.
