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.)
