Opis:
In Mad Men, the glass ceiling is dangerously low, and sexism reigns in a way that may shock modern viewers. But this isn't the prim '60s of The Dick Van Dyke Show , Weiner's characters seduce, smoke, and swig with abandon--often within the walls of Sterling Cooper. Includes all the episodes from series four of the show.
From the off, Mad Men was reaping plaudits and acclaim, as critics and audiences lined up to declare it one of the best new modern drama series that television has brought us. What's perhaps even more impressive, though, is that it's kept this going. That, four seasons in, it's not just managed to keep up the elegant stylings that got many to sit up and take notice in the first place. But that it's delivering some terrific television as it does so. Season four puts added emphasis onto Don Draper, expertly played by Jon Hamm, and this in turn throws the spotlight onto the people closest to him. Furthermore, Mad Men, as always, finds room to explore the supporting characters, with several compelling threads to follow. Without giving too much away, the show also picks up from the events at the end of season three, and the characters concerned find the ride just a little bumpier than they might have been expecting. It's a terrific show. Played by a cast of characters who inhabit their roles expertly, Mad Men is what happens when a group of people who are genuinely expert at their jobs come together at just the right time. In a decade that has seen a collection of excellent television series laying claim to our time and attention, Mad Men stands proud as one of the finest of the lot. -- Jon Foster
Critically hailed as the 'planet's coolest TV drama' (The Times), BAFTA-winning Mad Man is a darkly humourous look at the incredible advertising minds dictating the American Dream in the late 50s and early 60s. Hard drinking, chain smoking, over-sexed and misogynistic, the Madison Avenue pioneers sell an ideal they are struggling to achieve in their own lives. Mad Men is a sexy, stylish and shocking portrait of a time that was anything but innocent. Nothing is as provocative. Nothing is as it seems.
Winner of an incredible nine Emmys(r), four Golden Globes(r) and a BAFTA, Mad Men is the groundbreaking series that critics are calling one of TV's best ever dramas.
All 13 episodes from the sixth season of the Golden Globe-winning drama set in a prestigious advertising agency in 1960s New York, where sexism is a way of life and everyone smokes like a chimney. In this highly competitive, all white, male-dominated environment, the indefatigable Don Draper (Jon Hamm) is the top ad executive, but there are plenty of young guns eager to topple him from his perch. In this season, amidst the turmoil of the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, Don proposes that SCDP merge with rivals Cutler Gleason and Chaough in order to win the Chevrolet account. The episodes are: 'The Doorway: Part 1', 'The Doorway: Part 2', 'Collaborators', 'To Have and to Hold', 'The Flood', 'For Immediate Release', 'Man With a Plan', 'The Crash', 'The Better Half', 'A Tale of Two Cities', 'Favors', 'The Quality of Mercy' and 'In Care Of'.
