Been watching Mad Men, really like how everyone dresses nice, more “classy” furniture, and cars.

Dan Draper is gifted and talented, but he’s also a raging prick.
I've been re watching this show in the last week or two, and it's kind of hard for me to enjoy, because to me EVERYONE seems fairly horrible. I guess the audience is supposed to try to feel some compassion for the characters, but it mostly seems like a guilty pleasure viewing experience, and I'm supposed to be entertained by how messed up everyone is.
The production quality is just amazing though. Like the OP mentions, stuff just looks great...it's a nicely stylized take on what the early 60's were kind of like.
I remember, back when the show was airing, reading that the producers were extremely committed to authenticity. Apparently they went so far as, for example, producing ice chunks the same way they were back then so that they would look correct in the cups. (Sorry I don't remember the details, it was a good while back.)
First time I tried watching it and gave up on a day. Idk why it stuck this time, it’s just fun!
Yeah. That's kind of the point, he's supposed to be a prick.
