I couldn’t get into Mad Men. I tried twice, but I found it boring and I didn’t like any of the characters. Who am I rooting for? Why should I care what happens next?
I’m sure it was well acted and filmed, and it was an interesting look into the time period, but that wore off after 2 episodes.
I came to comment the same. I love mid century nostalgia and social/historical commentary. Love the cast in everything else I’ve seen them in. Love dramas where it’s mostly people in rooms talking. But I must have started Mad Men 5 times and never got past the first few episodes. It just never hooked me.
I honestly wonder how much of if was an aesthetic thing for a lot of people rather than really seeing something in the show. Was it really good or did it make men want to lean against a bar and order an Old Fashioned?
The people who really love it can apparently see something I don’t. I’ve heard it compared to other shows I love. But I have to think a lot of the popularity comes from the show having a vibe that I guess doesn’t grab me.

Nobody. They are all terrible people. You’re suppose to enjoy the drama and the 60s aesthetic and the gender role nostalgia.
