Hittade slutet på Nancy Franklins TV-krönika från The New Yorker 23 juli 2007.
“Have any states yet legalized marriage between human beings and TV shows? If so, I’m going to throw a few things in a bag and run off with “Mad Men,” the new drama on AMC set in the world of advertising at the dawn of the sixties—and encompassing New York life, and marriage, and sex, and repression, and what America was and was not. It is gorgeous in every way. As it should be—it’s the spawn of all those handsome, stylish office movies that were made in the fifties. Like those movies, “Mad Men” is smart and tremendously attractive, and it stirs you more than it probably should. It may not be deep, but if you’re a certain age and have a certain sensibility and certain fantasies of what New York used to be like (thanks to those movies) it hits a deep place in you, like a straight-up Martini made of memory and desire.
Did I mention that “Mad Men” was created by Matthew Weiner and that Alan Taylor directed three episodes? Their names may ring a bell, because Weiner was the executive producer, and Taylor directed nine episodes, of—oh, my God, it’s that show again!”
Det är alltså hög tid – hög tid? – att ta kontakt med BARA DVD – som numer finns i Sickla och inte på Sankt Eriksgatan – och beställa Mad Men.
