Manufacturing a Dream: A Mad Men Retrospective

Mad Men was one of the high points of television in its era, offering sharp commentary on the world of the 1960s, and how it reflects our present day.

I first watched this series back when it aired, and revisiting it was a real joy. It still holds up very well, though parts of it do hit a bit different over 15 years later. This is my first foray into such a dense series, and I hope you all enjoy it.
