In-Depth

Mad Men returns, and guess what?� It?s still one of the best shows on TV.� Season two continues the slow progression to absolute greatness.� The first season left us with a number of cliffhangers, and the beginning of the second season doesn?t cleanly wrap things up.� Instead, we leap forward nearly 2 years and are thrown into an even more tumultuous time where the Norman Rockwell-idealized era is only ideal on the surface (slightly below we find rampant alcoholism, marriage dissolution, casual sexism and racism).� There is resolution, eventually, for all the questions left unanswered, but in true slow-as-molasses-but-still-riveting Mad Men form, we get to wait the entire season for answers. �

A lot has changed in these two years at Sterling-Cooper and it is exciting watching the 60?s progress through the unique lens of Mad Men.� Everything that made Season one incredibly compelling television is back. The terrific acting, pitch-perfect writing, gorgeous art direction and impressive attention to detail are all the unshakeable foundation to a meandering yet precise plotline that keeps the viewer glued to the television.� Special features include extensive commentaries and featurettes that examine 1960?s fashion, the rise of women in the workplace, and defining historical events of the era.?Kira Canny
