Product Description
Lionsgate Mad Men: Season 1 (Blu-ray) The ground-breakingnew show from AMC that critics are calling "an instant classic" is now available on DVD and Blu-ray. Set in 1960 New York City, "Mad Men" explores the glamorous and ego-driven "Golden Age" of advertising, where everyone is selling something and nothing is ever what it seems. And no one plays the game better than Don Draper (Golden Globe - winner Jon Hamm), Madison Avenue's biggest ad man - and ladies man - in the business.

So Delicious on Blu-Ray August 21, 2008
I almost couldn't handle watching 'Mad Men' on Blu-Ray. I was squirming on my couch, flapping my hands in delight, nearly knocking over my Casino Royale on the rocks - it was TOOOO GOOOOOD. Not only is it a top-notch show that makes an elegant crossover between the aggressive storytelling of cable and the low-key charm of network shows, but the attention to detail is worthy of any big-budget period film. Absorbing those details rendered in the Blu-Ray definition was like scarfing down a big bag of candy and magically not getting sick from it. How could one ask for more?
Nostalgic glimpse of 1960's Corporate America August 21, 2008
I was fortunate enought to catch the first airing of this series last year and was immediately impressed by the historical accuracy and attention to detail. This is not to say that the story lines and acting aren't brilliant, because they are (which would account for all of the award nominations). Set in 1960's Manhattan at a fictitious Madison Avenue advertsising agency, the stories follow two parallel paths: the evolution of modern styles of advertising as a key function in Corporate America, and the personal lives of the people responsible for the incredibly creative ad concepts of the time. The dialogue is often politically incorrect and its portrayal of women may make some viewers cringe, but having lived through the 60's I can say that it is a very accurate time capsule of the standards of the period. Overall, it is a well written, very engaging and slightly nostalgic look back at a time when the "medium was the message".
Best drama on TV August 20, 2008
Do yourself a favor and catch an episode of this show (or just buy the discs on faith). It's the best, smartest, most compelling character drama I have seen on TV in a long time. The period setting puts a clever twist on what would be a compelling show even if set in the modern day. HBO must be killing themselves for passing on this show. Don't make the same mistake!
Perfect in every way imaginable August 6, 2008

Mad Men is one of the best shows I have ever had the pleasure of watching.
Watching this show on blu-ray has been something I will remember for quite some time. I missed the original airing of the show when it came on, and I was looking forward to watching the blu-ray. Once I watched it I feel in love.
As far as a blu-ray goes, this is perfect. The video is amazing, same with the audio, and it is stuffed with extras, including over 18 hours in audio commentary. There is another extra that is 1 hour long that is VERY good, and I recommend checking it out after you finish watching the series.
Overall Rating - 5/5 Stars
Video - 5/5
Audio - 5/5
Bonus - 5/5
Story - 5/5
Bottom line? Buy now!
Amazing show, amazing set design, even more amazing on BD! August 5, 2008

This is a truly incredible series - the exacting detail of the art direction and the on-target depiction of the era will blow you away.
John Hamm is perfect as adman Don Draper, January Jones just as good as his suffering wife Betty, and the rest of the cast is amazing as well, especially the always delightful Robert Morse, his smirk and vocal talents as sharp as ever.
What's even better is not only is there no Blu-Ray "price premium" for this title, at the time I'm writing this review the Blu-Ray set is actually selling for LESS than the DVD set.
If you've seen any episodes whatsoever and enjoyed them, or even if you're just curious, you owe it to yourself to pick up this title on BD.
