5.0 out of 5 stars Must Have, Jan 27 2009

By	Laura Martins (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm a devoted viewer of this show and was thrilled to own this first season DVD compilation. It depicts the world of pampered ad execs at a high-profile Manhattan firm in 1961 where cocktails flow before noon and sexual harrassment is the norm. Creator Matt Weiner is a stickler for period accuracy, so everything from the fashions to the breadbox on the kitchen counter reflect the late 50's/early 60's mileu. Smart writing and multi-dimentional characters also sets this show apart. I'm always riveted as endings are never predictable - often shocking, sometimes poignant and always original. Main character Don Draper is the gorgeous ad exec who all perceive as the confident, all knowing professional. We discover, however, that he's a complex protagonist whose troubled childhood haunts him and influences his many deceits. Draper, in all of his weaknesses and faults is inately humane. The other characters are also uniquely complex and interesting. Can't say enough about this show. Simply brilliant.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating caricature of a terribly odd time, Jan 4 2009

By	Jack Blatant (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

My father dislikes this series. I understand why; this is not an historic re-creation of the late 50's and early 60's. My father is of an age with Don Draper, he lived through these times, and he knows that they little resemble this series. The inaccuracies irk him. I understand his point, and I would probably feel the same way about a series that purported to represent the 80's.

It's funny that while people intuitively understand that futuristic stories are really about the present, they naively assume that stories set in the past are not. The show deliberately highlights things which we "moderns" find shocking - the young girl playing in the dry-cleaning bag, for example - but the time period itself is fundamentally a vehicle for plot and characterization. Anyone who imagines that this really is 1960 "as it was" is missing the point. Not that the directors are terribly clumsy about making the setting realistic, mind you - I swear they used all of my grandmother's furniture for the Draper home.

That noted, what I love about the series is the characterization. Don Draper is fascinating; Betty Draper is a bizarre mix of little girl, doll, temptress, and real person struggling to stay alive; I loathe Peter Campbell about as much as I can loathe a fictional character; and as for Peggy - well, no spoilers. Eminently watchable, intelligently written, periodically amusing, moving, and disturbing.

1.0 out of 5 stars Love this show, the dvd not so much!, Aug 14 2009

By	Robin (Canada) - See all my reviews

Got the first season as a gift from a friend because she listened to me rave about the show for hours. It seems that the second episode has no picture. There is still sound but just a black screen. So I sent it back and received a new one and the same thing. I like to have these as a collector item but noone wants a dvd that well doesn't exactly work. Still can't wait for season three to start:)
