Getting into a new show takes a little effort. You need to make a commitment and I’ve rarely gotten into a show from the pilot. Usually I come around later, maybe by the second season, if the show is worth my undivided attention. Now that we’re in some sort of television renaissance with some great writing and cinema emulation I can say I found another one that is DVR worthy.
After sitting through its premiere run and two marathon runs, catching up and emptying out the DVR with AMC’s new episodic show Mad Men from Sopranos writer Matthew Weiner, I can confirm that it is what everyone has been squawking about. One word, tone. Tonight is the night for season two.
And oh yeah, Don Draper is a pimp.
