The professional and personal lives of those who work in advertising on Madison Avenue - self-coined "mad men" - in the 1960s are presented. The stories focus on those at one of the avenue's smaller firms, Sterling Cooper, and its various incarnations over the decade. At the heart of these stories is Donald Draper, the creative genius of the company. That professional creative brilliance belies the fact of a troubled childhood, one that he would rather forget and not let anyone know about except for a select few, but one that shaped who he is as an adult and as an ad man in the need not only to sell products but sell himself to the outside world. His outward confidence also masks many insecurities as evidenced through his many vices, such as excessive smoking, drinking and womanizing - the latter despite being a family man - and how he deals with the aftermath of some of the negative aspects of his life.

Mad Men was the first show I ever binge watched, and never stopped until it was over.
The characters are strong in this 60s reveal of women versus men in the old-school world of advertising. The show hit all the topics that were relevant in the 60s, and you never knew where the story would go next - which was such an inspiration.
The players were never predictable, and the complexity of Don Draper (Jon Hamm) kept viewers guessing for season after season - what IS his problem, and will it ever be revealed? No spoilers here - watch it for yourself!
