>Fag character introduced right away
>2nd episode melodrama female bullshit
>Cringe dialogue
How the fuck is this show rated so highly when it's absolute shit? Couldn't even get past the 2nd episode of this garbage.
Once again Yas Forums recommends meme tier bullshit.

i bet you cant even get passed your first coom either
it's a soap opera for snobs who pretend they don't like soap operas. don't let anyone else tell you otherwise
Matthew Weiner is a resentful Jew piece of shit and Mad Men is a waste of time.
Wow.. its almost like.. some people have opinions and they arent always the same. Weird.
get pleb filtered faggio
>mfw another pleb filtered
imagine getting filtered by mad men
soap opera
Serious question as I haven't seen it.
But what actually fills the plot of this show? All I've seen on YouTube are the pitches for advertisement campaigns but I imagine that's only a small portion of it.
I'm sure there's some relationship drama too.
There's a good amount of character development that drives most of the show
>can’t into mad men
>so butthurt he makes a thread about it
everytime
It isn't really a plot driven show, it's more about character interactions. It'ss basically the about an advertising agency, the life of Don Draper, and to a lesser extent the life of other employees
ha!
soap opera
woman tier soup opera, got it
good read. don't know what pissed you off about that
if you say so
Season 1 especially the first few episodes are slow but you get sucked in quickly enough and if you can’t get into it you’re a pleb.
Pleb status: filtered
then stop watching faggot, Mad Men is a show for adults, not fucking faggot ass children fuck you cunt
Breaking Pleb is down the hall and to the left.
Absolutely nothing. Anyone here who watches it is a weak ‘man’.
There isn't a central plot.
It's about an ad agency, Don Draper and 1960s USA

I found it pretty boring first time, but gave it another go and glad I slogged through it, it's quite engaging and seems to have a relatively consistent quality.
[Spoiler] Bits of the ending didn't really click with me though, Peggy randomly deciding she 'loved' Stan, turning down being a partner with Joan because why?? Not sure what the thinking was about giving Betty cancer as well, felt a bit rushed and random. Pete was good comic relief. Sally was a good actor, especially when children are usually shit. I think they dealt with the passage of time quite well, not too in your face. [/Spoiler]
>But what actually fills the plot of this show
The act of becoming.
The story is about Harry Crane rising to the top and sliding down on cocaine
Plot wise it's shenanigans related to the running of a business. hiring and firing, winning accounts and losing them, entertaining clients, money, corporate espionage, pitching creative ideas. You get to see most of the characters develop their careers over the course of ten years or so. Some of them don't make the cut, some develop from bit players into captains of industry
My last attempt I got through like 4 seasons and had to drop it. It's fucking boring and the characters suck. Don Draper is a self insert for weak middle management beta men who think they're hot shit, and women get wet for John Ham and desperately want to live in the 1950s so they too can be womanized by strong, good natured white men in the heydey of American hegemony.
It's all frills and no substance. When you watch "Another Toothpick" or "The Ride," or even the Kevin Finnerty dream sequence you get a profound sense of meaning and purpose. The Sopranos was chintzy at times but David Chase used the show to convey stories, not just about characters interacting with one another but about the human condition.
Mad Men never seems to rise to the occasion. It never really gets beyond "OOH Don Draper has a secret identity" or "OOH wow this drama between Don and this other character sure is tense I wonder if Don will fire him!?"
Imagine The Office in it's latter seasons, except it takes itself completely seriously and they chainsmoke and drink heavily and the women wear too much makeup. That's basically what Mad Men is.
The other posters saying it's a soap opera are absolutely right. It's all window dressing.
>Don Draper is a self insert for weak middle management beta men who think they're hot shit
You're either an actual retard or someone that did not watch the show.
This show contains some of the funniest moments in American television desu lads
Shut the fuck up dumb faggot get back to working on your raise proposal
its toxic masculinity. Its great
I like Mad Men it's a solid B+ show (seen it twice), it has great side characters but The Sopranos is essentially so far above in TV drama quality than every other show it's not funny.
Most shows are C+ at best.
It's not though. That's literally the grug take on the show. Peggy is a Mary Sue and is consistently shown to be smarter and more capable than any man in the show and they go out of their way to make the viewer pity her for not being recognized for it
This, not realizing that Peggy is a non-character is smoothbrain
not user but its not a grug take.
Let's say you were to listen to the song "Kill the Poor" by Dead Kennedys, if you were to actually desire to kill the poor (the singer obviously is using literary devices to mock people) the song would still remain enjoyable.
I lose it every time this scene transition happens.
She isn't though, she's wrong all the time and she gets her shit challenged. The writers do a good job of giving the characters good and bad in their personal and professional lives
No she isn't and no they don't. She makes forgivable mistakes as a novice in the industry that are never her fault
>Peggy is a Mary Sue
based retard
It's the comfiest drama show ever made
Weiner may be a neurotic jew with an insecurity complex, but that doesn't really come through in the show. Every character is portrayed fairly and three-dimensionally, it's not a "takedown" of white men or anything like that.
off the top of my head: she's slightly racist, fucks up with several boyfriends for reasons which are justifiably her fault, is a bitch to her family and has an outsize ego that loses them several clients. she doesn't understand other women and gets corrected by joan and megan
