Mad Men: Appalling. You'll love it.

Nov 13, 2009 19:24

Mad Men: come for the style, and stay for the scathing portrait of misogynistic 60s America.

So far, in eight episodes, I have seen:
  • Pregnant women drinking
  • Kids being backhanded across the face
  • Wifey copping the blame when sleazy boss hits on her
  • A rainbow of sexism
  • Smoking, oh, constantly
  • Casual anti-Semitism
  • Indoctrinated racism
  • Reds under the beds!
  • Fashion. To die for.


Joan is a goddess, but it's Betty's clothes I want to steal. It's all about the cinched waists and full skirts for me - but I don't know if I could do the corseted underwear. (Maybe, if it'd give me Joan's figure.)
