It is really an educational show in some sense.

"Artistically it's the idea that you don't have to say everything. It can remain subtext." Exactly that is the reason what Mad Men made so special for me. The show leaves so much space for adding the pieces together to the audience itself, in order to create your own story and thoughts around it just the way you want it to be. And this is also why Don Draper appears to be one of the most complex tv show characters because you never really know what he thinks and feels exactly.

The You Only Live Twice scene is so stunning. I haven't been able to convince any of my friends to watch the show and it makes me sad because I feel like they are massively missing out!

Best show ever. And it's not the show that overstayed its welcome. It's just that AMC dragged it out too much. A year between every season and 2 years before the 5th, and 2 years for season 7 to finish. People's patience got shorter, because it's a slow-burn drama. If you watch it without so much expectation and anticipation and just binge, you'll realize it's consistently great throughout. One of the all time greats. (I personally consider it THE Great American Drama, not that it matters).

Mad Men fashion got me drooling and makes me envy people from the past that they had more effort with their clothes than people right now

Cool thing about "The Suitcase" is that it's probably the best episode in the series, one of the most important in terms of illuminating its two main characters, and is actually at the exact middle point of the series.

that scene with Bert singing The Best Things in Life are Free killed me

The Don/Peggy dynamic was one of the most interesting relationships in the show. Peggy was the only person (man or woman) that Don seemed to regard as his equal in talent. He was very demanding of her because he knew she was talented and was trying to bring out her best. She never let him down and he respected her for it.

Mad Men ruined me! There is very little on TV that I’ve found as insanely intelligent and interesting as MM. Curse you Matt Weiner and thank you.

One of my favourite scenes is when Pete Campbell is sitting at a table with a man he doesn't know, and the man asks him -"so, what do you do in an ad agency all day"? And Pete proceeds to really praise the man's tie, leaving him very flattered, and he answers -"this is what I do all day". Freaking brilliant!

Still got chills from "THATS WHAT THE MONEY IS FOR"

It's a history show, a social commentary show, and a show about empowerment from both sides of the gender roles. I love it. It has a TON of life lessons in it as well in how to handle life and business and social situations.

What i love most about this show is the pacing. Very few show has that element where you feel like everything just falls into place naturally without effort and without losing that surprise element. I found Better Call Saul has that match in terms of the pacing - slow but you kinda get the justification on why something is happening - the flow of information is subtle not all at once. It’s just perfect writing

I find myself wanting an Old Fashioned.

I watched the entire show in less then a month it was amazing I wanna re watch it

There was a time when Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Lost, The X Files would all be up there on my TV on FX. Little did my little self know what master pieces I was made available with.

We have great shows like The Crown, Downton Abbey or The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. We will never have a period show like Mad Men again. This show will always be one of the best period dramas of the 2000s or all time.

I was born in 1955 and lived in New York City and I think this is one of the most fabulous creations that there ever was

I think one of the biggest thing the show achieved is it truly makes you feel as though this was shot in1960's, just the vibe and atmosphere. There are no bloopers no where, like that coffee cup incident.

20 years down the Line....this is the Only TV show from our time....that will stand the Test of Time & still be Watched.

It's so nice that the gentleman from Vox was able to record the audio for this video right out of his bathroom.

i’ve watched all the seasons of this show so many times that it has now become my “white noise”. i put it on just to have it on.

The greatest television show ever. 41 year old black man here. Yes with the racism and sexism and prejudice it feels authentic and amazing writing, impeccable style, engaging set design,………..41 years old and I haven’t witnessed anything like this !

Best show ever made. I am literally on the 6th time watching from start to finish. With how many times I’ve seen this show it still makes me smile. I still get invested like it’s my first time watching it. I also always find something new each time as well.

Madmen really is better than everything else.

couldn't agree more.. this is the best show ever..

Just rewatched The Suitcase. Amazing and powerful performances from Hamm and Moss! Hands down the best Mad Men episode.

The best episode for me was when Pete got his ass kicked real nice.

I just discovered Mad Men within the last month. I am constantly amazed at the quality of the writing. The characters and casting are better than anything I've seen on US television in the seventy years I've been watching. Jon Hamm is perfect as Don Draper. I'm watching two episodes a night and I'm now at Season 4 Episode 6. I don't want to get to the end.

Wow. great audio quality vox.

mad men made me clean my apartment and hold the door open for longer then socially acceptable.

Mad Men is the greatest show known to man kind

This show will stand the test of time more than any other show out there in the recent past be it breaking bad or GOT or whatever is the next BIG thing!

Best series ever! Currently re-watching & appreciating it even more: the era, fashion, character development, great acting, subtext & symbolism. A study in the human condition & I'm blissfully immersed in these flawed, but compelling glamorous on-the-surface, characters. 🥰

Each actor made the show it would have been less of a hit without anyone left out

Christina Hendricks,.

I miss this show so much

Oh man, I wish this show never ended. After finishing the last episode I fell into self isolation, almost wanted to cry because of these shitty times we live in. Not to be compared with the life style back in the days.

Greatest detail in set design for any TV series

It's a textbook of culture, fashion, semantics, consumerism, social behaviour , counter culture, art, music, and ideals. One needs to study each moment, instead of just watching it. Scene by scene accuracy is phenomenal. Every item and article is placed with accurate nonchalant. In short, refreshing.

Mad Men is like a drug! It starts slow! After a while you just need to keep watching! The writing,the astmosphere and acting is phenomenal and it really gets under your skin!

I freaking love this show. Man, the level of detail attention these bunch of Creative people led by Matt Weiner was giving into was beyong amazing.

if you loved the sopranos for the superb dialogue, which contained so many keen observations and life lessons, but were a bit turned off by the senseless violence and brutality and the overall darkness as the seasons progressed, then mad men is THEE perfect fit for you. and the incredible asthetics dont do any harm either.

Best show of all time, and no-one can convince me otherwise.

I’m rewatching Mad Men for the second time. Blows my mind. Such delicate story telling and nicely written characters.

Spectacular show. I was hooked!

This show is the spiritual successor to the Sopranos - both character-driven shows. They hold up really really well, as a opposed to a plot-driven show (e.g. Breaking Bad)

its mind changing

One of the well written show on TV.

I know this video is only three minutes but if I had to three minutes to tell you why Mad Men is an incredible show I wouldn't have said what this guy said. It's about so much more and he doesn't do it justice.

A piece of fine Art, mad men is one of the best TV shows in history of humanity and aliens in the entire universe

Grrrrrr what did you guys use to mike this video, an NT5? or was it Ipod earbuds?

This is one of my very favorite series of all time don draper made the whole show I never get tired of this show Jon hamm is the sexiest man alive

It’s such an iconic show I loved watching it 💕

Is on one gunna talk about how good "the better half" was?? That honestly had one of the most beautiful and powerful scenes I've ever seen!

This will be an iconic TV show for the future viewers!

Still have an overwhelming urge to buy some silver rimmed whisky glasses. I may act on that.

Bravo. I really do need to watch it again.

The one thing that really disappointed me about this show, having basically lived through this time myself, was the almost complete lack of music. That should have been in the background of almost every TV show car radio, interior shot, and coming from every kid walking down the street with a transistor radio to his ear. The music was everywhere and it was huge. Maybe was too expensive for TV, but it's certainly missed in its absence.

I dunno why but the whole story of grandfather Gene making a bond with Sally and him dying and Betty giving birth to baby Gene while having visions of her father gave me chills

Never been so sad that a series ended.

Thank you for this

Have rewatched 3 times and everytime I learn something new.

Best written TV show of all time. Period. No questions. It isint about plot so much as its about subtext. No greasy itallians or shineboxes to be seen

The hitch bottle ad was entertaining to be honest. Anybody else think the same?

I finally watched Mad Men in 2023 and the part that is so realistic to me about all the subtext, is that it is portraying a generation of people who even in real life truly did not talk to eachother, a generation who wore absolutely nothing on their sleeve

Achieved before and unrivalled since. The Holy Olympus of Drama. Words cannot describe how much I adore this series. Entertainment intellectually and artfully presented in its perfect form.

I love Mad Men, but a show like no other? It's a show very much like The Sopranos (obviously the creator wrote for The Sopranos, so it's not a surprise) The first 2 or 3 seasons felt like a huge shout out to the Sopranos. There were scenes that were blatantly copied from the Sopranos. For godsakes their is a scene where Dom tells a guy to take his hat off. That is one of the most famous Tony scenes. Or the episode that starts with Tony passed out in the kitchen. Then they do a rewind effect back a few scenes to show what happened to him. There is episode that starts with Dom passed out in the same position. Then they go back to days earlier and proceed with the episode to show what happens that leads him to the being passed out and beat up looking. The writing style that made Mad Men so good was very much like Sopranos. Some of the most emotional scenes revolving around Dom were just like Tonys scenes. I recently watched the scene on YT where Tony is in a coma and in his dream sits down on a bed in a hotel and looks out the window. A person wrote "This is very Mad Men-ish" Well that episode came out before Mad Men was made, so what does that tell you?

0:44 You Only Live Twice is also a James Bond movie in 1967 with the same song by Nancy Sinatra that is also its theme song.

I miss this version of Vox… not saying their recent uploads are profound in their research and issues they raise, but simple videos like these that present simple ideas narrated by people who are passionate about it

Best show ever

Best Show. Watch it over and over, over the years.

So, I should binge it, yes?

The audio quality of this voiceover is not up to standards.

Missed opportunity, you could have done so much more with this video. So much to dissect and delve into Vox than a measly 2 minutes. Also I know your graphics skills and experts you have who should have dedicated a lot more to the masterpiece that is Mad Men.

When I started madmen I just can't stop watching don draper...

Colleague - I know that your name is not Jerome Joshi Boss - Who cares?

2:19 Not everybody.

Mad Men, second best series ever

2:20 sums it up perfectly

Man that suitcase episode

one of my favorite series.

best quote to put in time capsule: "Well, I'm president of the Howdy Doody circus army!"

One of the best shows produced.

Wow, t'was a great series!

I miss MM. There's no replacement for it

Only watching this cause it gets mentioned a TON in Suits by Harvey lol.

This is the best show ever 🙌, anyone with ideas of similar shows

I really wish I could remember where I left off with this show. I really want to finish it but I don't want to go back to the start

am thinking of seen the whole Show again... Does anyone feel that way ?

Probably the best show I wouldn’t recommend

Why would you put really unfitting music in the background?

I came here to see of I should watch it and yall spoil it, thanks

Mad men is my second favourite show of all time. 1. Dexter 2. Mad Men 3. Breaking Bad

ive heard great things about this show like its a masterpiece golden ag of television great acting and writing and is as big and profound as breaking lost sons of anarchy and other greats but i also heard that the sopranos creator david chase was actually jealous of this show says he dident want to make the sopranos when this was on the air thats a huge complement hearing those words from the brilliant david chase makes me gotta check out this lovely series now

I THOUGHT it was a 3rd party analysis

A masterpiece, racism and some stuff in there but the show is a masterpiece the phone rings, the no soundtrack vibe, the sound of the atmosphere, the pro/cooperate vibes makes me feel I have been in them Offices making moves absolute ✔️✔️💯 about to rewatch it from the beginning for the second time, I have been feeling like Don until season 6

When Ginsberg emerged i expected it to be 2nd protégé of Don. There is a scene where two of them do a confrontation in the elevator. But later Ginsberg goes sideways.

That was a good fucking review damn

Is it somewhat kinda Suits?
