After a long hiatus, Mad Men, a show that won the Emmy for Best Drama four straight years, has finally returned. If you\u2019re not familiar with the show, it follows the lives of the employees of an advertising agency in the 1960s. At times great, it can also be slow and boring at times. It\u2019s interesting, but I\u2019m not sure it\u2019s worth all the hype. The dialogue and acting are top-notch, but sometimes you\u2019ll watch an entire episode and wonder if anything actually happened. There are a lot of long scenes of dialogue and plot lines that don\u2019t add up to anything, and it seems like there\u2019s a lot of build-up and not a lot of payoff.<\/p>\n
But, when Mad Men\u2019s good, it\u2019s really good. So good, in fact, that you\u2019ll sit through the boring stuff until something cool finally happens. Jon Hamm, who plays lead Don Draper, is perfect as the man you admire and hate at the same time. You never know what he\u2019s going to do next, and it keeps the show interesting. <\/p>\n
After two episodes, I have to admit it\u2019s been more slow than interesting. But something about Mad Men keeps me coming back. If you haven\u2019t been watching, I suggest starting at season one and catch up, rather than just jumping in. If you\u2019re a patient viewer, I think you\u2019ll enjoy it.<\/p>\n
