    Question Mad Men

    Any one else watching this on BBC4 or BBC2?

    Saw that this won in the Golden Globes & not sure what to make of. Seems to be more about 1960s New York with sprinkling of sexism, chauvinism & racism.

    I watched the first 3 episodes but have given up on it. I'm sure women didn't make themselves as easily available as the show suggests or am I working in the wrong era/office??? Haha.

    amazon and HMV have good deals on all the series of the Wire at the moment. Best tv programme of all time (and no I don't work on the show )

    I stuck with this to the end of the first series. It improved as the series progressed. God when they link episodes to historical events.
