It is all but impossible to avoid hyperbole when discussing the AMC series Mad Men, one of the most stylish, literate, and ambitious programs in the history of the medium (the Emmys agree, having bestowed the Outstanding Drama Award on the show for each of its four seasons). Taking a critical look back at the freewheeling advertising industry of the 1960s, Mad Men has inspired fevered devotion in its fans with its seductive portrayal of the profligate lifestyle that characterizes the milieu and its searching, soulful examination of the changing values of the times and the human cost of the American Dream. A uniformly excellent ensemble, stunning visuals, and sophisticated storytelling have firmly established Mad Men as one of television’s finest series.
