It's gripping  Mad Men  Wednesday, April 10, 2013 | 12:44 AM |
by  I really enjoy Mad Men. It's just incredibly entertaining.
I also can't really think of a way to describe what the show is
about.  I mean, I know the characters. I know everything they
do, and their relationships. But have you ever tried to explain
Mad Men to someone that doesn't watch the show these days?
Season One you could probably have said "It's about Madison
Avenue ad executives during the 60's." Now though... that
doesn't even come close to summing up what the show is or who
the characters are. That element is still there, of course, but
it's mostly a backdrop now. The show is about the characters,
and pinning the description on where they work really does no
justice to all the other tangents the show explores.  The best I
can do is say "It's a show about people. And shit happens to
them." Sometimes it's meaningful shit and really drives the
"plot"... but most of the time it's just stuff happening. That's
life though, isn't it? I gues
