Details: Product description Mad Men: Season One Amazon.ca The show succeeds on every level. HBO famously passed on Mad Men, created by former Sopranos executive producer and writer Matthew Weiner.  AMC picked it up, and thank goodness they did. From the first episode, Season One becomes an essential, utterly addictive television- watching experience. Beautifully filmed and masterfully written , the show manages to present the period honestly but with little nostalgia, and as soon as you get over the constant smoking, drinking and treatment of women as little more than "girls" who get coffee and answer the phone, the complexity of these characters (especially the dashing Jon Hamm as Creative Director Don Draper) will leave you completely captivated. Season One features clandestine office romances, shadowy pasts, a ton of adultery, closeted homosexuality and a lot more drama that seems risqué even for 2008. But again, one of the most impressive things about Mad Men is that everything is executed with absolute class, style and elegance.  And bonus for the DVD viewer: Like The Sopranos, Mad Men has a ton of little moments and hints leading up to character revelations and plot twists that make watching the episodes over and over continually rewarding.   –- Kira Canny Special Features "Mad Men Series Commentary," audio commentaries on all 13 episodes "Establishing Mad Men, " featurette exploring the world of Mad Men "The Desire of the American Dream," featuring the 1960's creative revolution in media "Pictures of Elegance," photo gallery with commentaries from the costume, hair and production designers "Scoring Mad Men" featurette Mad Men Music Sampler
