Mad Men

I have been watching this series lately has anyone watched it? I think it's really well done and it depicts the growth of consumerism in the US and how it was fueled by advertising. Also, there are several references to Ayn Rand.

I watched a lot of the first year. Yes, it is excellent. I especially liked both the red headed female lead and the episodes on the Presidential campaign of 1960 which I was involved in at the advanced age of 14 lol.

The filming is really well done with the color enhancements, that vibrant "hot" look. Good series. Have not watched it past the first year though,

I have watched the whole series and I think it is very well done.

The series is on In Demand for the last season. It is well worth watching.

This is the only Rand reference I'm aware of:

 

I like the show a lot, Don Draper is a lot like a Randian hero only more realistic.  The show does a good job at showing how intelligent people can work together (or sometimes backstab each other).
