Be honest. Mad Men is the most overrated show of all time

[Optimus Prime]

Overrated by what standard? It hasn't won any Emmy's since 2011 and none of the actors/actresses have ever won an Emmy (mainly because of BB) and the ratings haven't been that good the last couple of seasons. It's probably rated just right

 

[Osmosis]

I've never seen an episode but the fact that some people consider it better than Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones intrigues me.

 

[M'gann]

It was a great show then I lost interest halfway through season 3.

 

[Pesci]

Depends on the criteria. I'd say Sons of Anarchy if we're just talking about show length and popularity. How that show went 7 seasons, I have no idea.

 

[Ribbs]

I won't judge another person's opinion but when they mention "of all time" you can't help but...

Name a recent show with a better opening.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Nah Mad Men is amazing. I understand why the dialogue heavy focus would turn people off but it's really well written and has great characters. Top 5 show imo...

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

pretend friends doesn't exist brehs

 

[HHR]

Mad Men is the deepest show on tv. It's not for people who just want "fukkery" or cheap thrills.

Pretty much this.

If you don't like it, you don't have to watch.

I punched out after season 1 but that was a good scene

 

[ORDER_66]

I've never watched it... I never saw what the big deal was...

 

[Piff Perkins]

Brilliant shyt.

 

[MenacingMonk]

hahaha

What show is not dialogue heavy and character driven ? ?

You can't put it next to other shows like BB, Wire or GOT because MM doesn't deal with the underworld or medieval fantasy. It's a show that focuses on the people working a job and dealing with their problems or past.

I can see why people don't like it. It's just not for everyone.

 

[TheSpook]

Mad Men is a top tier show. Great writing. Greater dialogue.

How I Met Your Mother holds that title.

Most TV critics & fans agree that the first 4 seasons were great, than the show falls off after that.

Most everyone on The Coli agrees "Sons..." is TRASH after Season 4. I never paid enough attention to what critics think of the show. But this show might deserve the title based off how cac fans cyse this show.

I enjoy the hell out of it, man.

My point was basically that I'm not a fan and don't see how anyone could be. The shyt is corny and people were talking about how it was the funniest shyt on tv.
