I watched the first season over a couple days about 3 months ago.  Really good, and a, uh, surprising ending.

I originallu took the ending as some cheap ass plot work, but the more Season2 plays out, the more I realize the importance of the metaphor. I love this show, I can't remember the last time I watched a show and just... luxuriated in it. I feel like I'm taking a WORD BATH.

Like I'm supposed to remember episode names from a shitty show.

Do not use Heroes and Mad Men in the same sentence unless that sentence is a sentence telling someone to not use the two in the same sentence.

Sundays at 10pm. If you've got AMC OnDemand, though, all of season one and the first two episodes of season two are free to watch.

Well fine, me - being a Nieslen family box holder - is not going to watch this shitty show and keep it on the air past this season, meaning you all will cry because you couldn't tell me - in normal terms - what the hell this show is about.

It's basically the show that all the good writers from Heroes went to after that went tits up.  It actually has a pretty good special effects budget.

Watching the first episode now. Advertising, in the 50/60's. Too slow not enough explosions or nudity.

No, it's about an advertisement firm during the late 50s/60s. If you're into political intrigue and business shenanigans you'll love the show, which features some snappy dialogue. Perhaps my favorite thing about the show is how the subtle manipulation of advertising plays a role in everyone's daily life. Many characters conform to societal norms and expectations in public yet the mask comes off at other times. It's perhaps most evident with the various female characters, from wives to secretaries.

Great writing, beautiful set design/costumes, and lots of smoking. :bow

I'm thinking about picking this up on Blu-ray. I checked out a few episodes from the first season and I liked what I saw.
