Not sure if anyone has told you but the creator/showrunner, Matthew Weiner, was a writer on The Sopranos

This is one of those shows where I knew a few things about it before seeing it. Basically, I knew Don was married going in. So the ending of episode 1 didn't hit me the way it was supposed to. He spends the episode selling himself just as much as he sells products and the ending reveals it to be one big facade. Episode 2 is actually when we get to know his wife. Her arc through this season and the entire series is one of my favorites. Peggy's as well, actually. With Peggy, she spent the entire first episode being told that she's expected to be a sex object for her boss and the other men in the office. It's so crushing to see her fall on her face when she tries to hit on Don. We get the sense that she isn't that type of person, but after one day the office is already trying to mold her into something else.

Having seen this series a long time ago, I forgot how good the pilot was. Just like "The Sopranos", right away we get strong, complex character writing for the main character. "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" establishes Don Draper as someone who's different from other characters in a similar archetype. The reveal Draper has a family is as much of a shock as anything violent we've seen main characters do in other tv series. James is going to enjoy this series.

Uhhh…LETS GO!!! For me when someone says the best acted shows of all time, in my opinion, it’s this and the Wire

The woman in the middle that you recognized of the operator phone thing is Kristen Schaal. She's hilarious, she's in Bob's Burgers, Flight of the Conchords among other things.

Just waiting for the show to ramp up with the Marriage of Figaro

Extraordinary takes on these first couple of episodes. I’m hooked already.

I just started this series so I can keep up with your reactions, it’s pretty compelling so far! I tried watching it once years ago but I was a teenager and too young to really get it I think.
