I continue to persevere with this series, mainly because it was hyped so much as the one that America was going wild over and was written by the creator of the Sopranos. It certainly looked wonderful in the first episode. Clearly a huge amount of dosh has been spent getting the look of an early sixties ad agency just right. Trouble is, after half a dozen or so episodes, nothing in particular has happened. Over and again we have been reminded that ad men in those days drank and smoked a lot, treated women abominably and almost without exception cheated on their wives while maintaining an air of supreme respectability.
Maybe the Americans needed a strong reminder that their so called golden Eisenhower era was not as idyllic as they remembered, but for me it's a bit of a yawn.
