Mad Men - Season 1-7 [Blu-ray]

Product Information

To that end, Weiner uses Don and Peggy to provide an emotional counterpoint to the soulless practices of Sterling Cooper.

Yes, the series’ pacing and subject matter may not be everyone’s flavor, but solid writing and stunning performances help this one stand out from the crowd. Intelligent, smart, witty and gorgeously produced, Mad Men is the perfect example of just how good television is these day. The first two seasons were pitch perfect and nuanced; drolly parodying the notion of an American Dream.

The discs themselves are the same as those already released as individual sets but that's no bad thing as the previous releases of all seven seasons of Mad Men boasted superb video transfers. It cleverly counterpoints the 60s situation with modern sensibilities, whilst key historical events play out in the background. His assertion seems to be that advertisers don’t care for your well-being any more than the companies they represent. The act of watching every single episode remains a rewarding experience and, even after the mystery of Don Draper's identity has been revealed, the series continues to draw you in with its multiple story lines, witty dialogue and remarkable attention to detail.When I caught ‘Mad Men’s HDTV broadcast on AMC, I endured an onslaught of blocky artifacts and flushed skintones that continually distracted me from the excellent production values of the show.

The remastered episodes also have enhanced sound, making the dialogue and music more crisp and clear. It’s tough to criticize singular speakers when Lionsgate has pulled so many people in to discuss the show. The only downside here is that ‘Mad Men’s DTS HD MA track isn’t nearly as breathtaking as its video transfer or supplemental package.

The special features are spread out over all discs in every season and there is no listing of what special feature is on what disc. Likewise, the rear channels are fairly uninvolving and are only engaged to create realistic interior acoustics and deliver subtle ambient effects (most notably present in the office noise surrounding the secretaries’ desks or the street traffic featured in the brief exterior scenes in New York City). Widely labelled as one of the greatest television series of all time, Mad Men is an unmissable piece of live-action American period drama. As Don makes the plays in the boardroom and the bedroom, he struggles to stay a step ahead of the rapidly changing times and the young executives nipping at his heels. That said there is always just enough to keep you tuned in, and just when you feel you don't want to care about the characters anymore, they deliver just enough to peak your interest.

Engulf yourself in the 7-series phenomenon Mad Men, which follows the dynamic events which take place in Manhattan, New York, on the wealthy Maddison Avenue. I continually marveled at the depth of the image and found myself entranced by everything from the creases in the firm’s leather chairs to the stitches and pinstripes in Draper’s suit coats. I found the actors candid, the directors are production heads interesting, and the entire group to be generally engaging. I do hope that's all merely the symptom of first season growing pains, but I’ll have to reserve judgment until I can dig into the second season this summer. There are also no paper inserts in ANY of the disc boxes with episode titles or any indication of what content is on what disc.
