Anyone comparing it to Breaking Bad doesn't know what they're talking about. Mad Men is a 60s era style soap opera, and it's more of a relaxing type of show.
I watched them side by side as they aired and felt Breaking Bad was overrated. The fact it was mentioned in the same pile as shows like Mad Men or The Wire was laughable to meYou gotta relax. I’ve grown to appreciate the show as I’m binging, but it’s nowhere near Breaking Bad. It’s at best a couple of tiers lower than Walking Dead.
yep only like the first 3 seasons were goodI remember loving the show but not liking the later seasons once Don left and married a secretary or something?

Disagree. It’s a highly well written character study.What’s laughable is mentioning Mad Men alongside The Wire.
I think it’s a decent show, but that’s about it. This really is a show that you can play in the background as opposed to a compelling drama that makes you watch intently and then analyze what you just saw. It’s not even as entertaining as other night time soaps like Dallas.
Off the top of my head, in no order for dramas:What’s your top 5? Just curious what your general taste in shows is. It sounds like I’m tryna make a point or something but I promise I’m just genuinely curious
One of those shows that gets better as it goes on.
Seasons 1 & 2 aren’t the best.
I’m on S1 episode 11 and so far this feels like a soap opera in the vein of Dallas, but I’ve been hearing it’s on the level of elite TV shows like Breaking bad.
The only compelling part of the show so far that don’t make it feel like a soap opera are the flashbacks of when he was a kid.
Why am I not surprised?
