I truly believe this show will live on into history and be watched for history. Without doubt about the best written, character development, acted, filmed show ever done.
I think I could watch Jon Hamm all day, as he's sitting on a couch looking slightly rumpled and deep in thought. The only man who can be sexier than Don Draper is Jon Hamm.
Don Draper's character is funny. He loves control, doesn't ask, just does and waits for others reactions. But he's successful. People love him for being right, but hate him for being right as well. One of the most complex characters in the history of television.
Beauty is not the end-all and be-all. The Mad Men stylists certainly know how to make someone look good - look at January Jones, Christina Hendricks, most of the other actresses playing secretaries, Don's love interests etc. Peggy is not supposed to be that, and Peggy's styling is clearly a very deliberate choice to convey her personality and where she is in her life. They're telling a story visually.
Not saying this is good or bad, but when Jon Hamm gives interviews, Don Draper seems to completely disappear. On the other hand when Elisabeth Moss is speaking, I do feel like I'm watching Peggy from Mad Men.
Watched Mad Men first season it came out, liked it, but got busy and let it go...revisited it this summer and have watched all but the last 7 episodes, have been addicted.....I spent four years on Madison Ave in the early 80's when I first graduated with my business degree, it wasn't all that different from the 60's, I could relate to so much and it really took me back...Such a sensational show, the acting is amazing!
John Hamm is so humble in this interview. He became a huge star (and boy, so well deserved). So is the case with Elizabeth Moth. The casting is genius in the show. These actors are so where they’re supposed to be, it gives you chill and inspiration.
11:53 No. One of the best things in this show is that they just show you how the things are and leave no comment on it, so it's for the viewer to form an opinion. Otherwise it wouldn't be eatable. I like when authors treat their audience like that.
Just binged mad men for the third time since it ended in 2015. I find something new each time I watch it. My favorite characters are Peter, Betty and Roger. I just love the fashion of the 60’s.
@@pedroaraujo1054 the shows basic theme at its core is happiness and the ways we as humans use consumerism through media, sex, money, marriage etc etc to fill that void in us. The backdrop is 60s America but it's also very much about how humans cope
Such great framing and detailed videography of two of my favorite characters ever…or no, that was my perception after first watching-then I realized when looking back, it's just all about these two personalities and the way they interact and support.
By FAR, AMC is the ONLY network worth watching! All of their shows, Mad Men, Walking dead etc are fantastic! In a world of reality show crap, you guys give us great television.Thank you for all of your great work. It is truly appreciated.
I think that the Peggy character is so important in this series because the timeline is going from well before the modern feminist era to right in the middle of it. I think that the series deals with this quite well although in the interview, I'm not sure that Elizabeth truly understands how forward Peggy really was. Looking back from the 2010's to the 1960's is 50 years and we've come a helluva long way even though there is more to go clearly. But, the 60's is within living memory for most boomers and for children of the 80's and 90's it was really another world imo.
Oh my God! These dialogues, it's like a typical boss yelling and telling his subordinate how thankless she is and why she should be grateful because she was nothing when she was given an opportunity by him to work for this agency. SO SO TRUE and typical of bosses!
he;s completely right, mad men is one of the best written shows on television right now, none of my friends get why i watch it and it;s like besides how well it;s written it;s jon fracking hamm!!!
I think the concept and characters are so well written that I always care about what happens to them in Mad Men! Sometimes the script takes me out of it! But it also uses dream and fantasy logic even if some of the scenes seem superficially unrealistic!
I started watching the show, and fell in love with it, the fashion the style the story... EVERYTHING! But netflix took it down and couldn’t even watch the first season... but I’m definitely going to find it somewhere even tho i already know the ending LMAO... and the fact than John calls her Lizzy is so cuteee
The thing is that looking jon every expression reminded us more n more of Don... I don't know, if it's good thing for an actor or not... But Don is kinda character, you never ever wanted him to go away.... Infact both Elizabeth and Jon are as natural as one can be... That's the beauty of it, I Guess...
@KAAllitt I thought the exact same thing. I think it's a good thing. It shows that no matter who the actors really are, they are able to embody their characters completely and perfectly. Good observation.
There has never been a better more compelling exposition of the irony and hypocracy gauranteed by the unquestioned sexual double standards of the 50s and 60s.
XxMyLameUserNamexX It's a way to express the human condition. We are never satisfied (in fact, Don say this in his diary "When a man walks into a room"). Don cheats because it's his way to externalize his dissatisfaction. But reading other comments, maybe he cheats because he likes to be wanted, because his parents doesn't paid attention to him when he was a kid. That's the beauty of this show, the characters are so complex... their actions can be interpreted from various perspectives.
XxMyLameUserNamexX Well it's crystal clear that he's not happily married, and neither is his wife! He doesn't love his wife at all. So I guess you are a bit wrong.
@superfest18 Matthew Weiner has said in a few interviews that "7 Seasons seems like enough" - he wants to round the series off and end it in a safe and succinct way around 1970 (just go through the 60's). I think it's smart. If you read all the interviews he already kinda has an ending in mind as well (spoiler alert). I probably would not want to see more than seven or eight seasons... seems appropriate.
Jon totally smiled 6:25 because u know in the show and probably in real life too he could have hooked up with Elisabeth aka Peggy. Tbh I wouldnt be surprised if they hooked up irl. They have too much chemistry.
In this show everything is excelent. Casting, cloths small.objects like pecils mugs furniture .kitchen etc every single detalj is so perfect. All of them has some caracter. Finaly show brineš you in really age of sixties. Jon Hamm is perfrct in show he looks like he just jump from.some Hitchcock movie .
When I saw the thumbnail I thought Elisabeth Moss was January Jones, and I cried, "Nooooooo!" Moss deserves more than Jones to be interviewed and recognized.
-Plot Holes I can't really name one here, so please point one out to me or this point is moot. -Stupid Choices Some characters are fucking idiots. Some people are ALSO fucking idiots. And the only awful choices I can think of off the top of my head are the ones Rick's family do. -Baffling Character Motives You understand people lose their mind when everyone around you dies right? Not everyone can be level headed. This applies to the last point. It's not a poorly written show, don't be a dumbass.
At one point near the end Elisabeth says they do bad things, but they’re not bad people. I think you could argue Don during certain periods is a bad person based on the totality of his hedonistic conquests and there destructive consequences no mattter how sympathetic we are in the basis of his childhood traumas.
2:32 This makes Don sounds like a jerk but he does recognize the talents and works that his co-workers/subodinates does. He does value and respect Peggy and Pete much more in season 7 compare to season 1.
You wish you could be in Don's place, but then you don't want because of the sad things keep happening in his life. But you say to yourself wish I was in his place so I could take different action, but then again it's all speculation.... Whatever happened in Don's life had to happen.
Or they should get emmys for deliberately making her look her look the way her character was supposed to look in season 1: A girl from Brooklyn who needs a make-over.
The best line in this when Jon says, "They're not evil" straight up lol. It's so common sense and grounded. That's the thing about truly smart people. You can say big words all day, but if no one understand what the fuck you're telling them, it's more worthless than dead smokers lungs.
nacs of course. He had to give up paying small roles in commercials, not to mention his job as a waiter. No, this is what people call an opportunity. Not a risk.
LiLo The second episode was shot a year after the pilot. Everybody had to wait and see if it would be picked up I think. This is probably what it means. It was not a sure thing and at the time none of these people probably had much money, etc.
I truly believe this show will live on into history and be watched for history. Without doubt about the best written, character development, acted, filmed show ever done.
I totally agree! Mad men is completely different from any other show.
Mad men is my FAVORITE. Ive rewatched it 4 times on Netflix. I don't love the ending but I love how they incorporated historical events.

You're right but Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad and Peaky Blinders say hello ;)
I can't believe they're not actually Peggy and Don
Thats how you know it was a great performance by great actors.
How dare they
that's because you're daft
I've watched the entire series four times. It is the best TV show I've seen.
I love that he calls her "Lizzy." Amazing characters, incredible show. This will be the best 7 seasons of television ever.
I think I could watch Jon Hamm all day, as he's sitting on a couch looking slightly rumpled and deep in thought. The only man who can be sexier than Don Draper is Jon Hamm.
Don Draper's character is funny. He loves control, doesn't ask, just does and waits for others reactions. But he's successful. People love him for being right, but hate him for being right as well. One of the most complex characters in the history of television.
got hooked on Netflix showing until June 10th got 30 more episodes to get through. Jon Hamm should be the next James Bond!
Same thing happened to me. Prime has season for like 5 bucks each
Same here man .... I was barely able to finish the last season the day before on June 9th!!
He's not Scottish.

I first saw "Mad Men" on the Oprah Winfrey show. It was about the 1960's. I bought the 1st season on DVD and I was hooked ever since.
Scandinavian audience here since 2007
The AMC was like "oh we need more shows? lets write Mad Men, Breaking Bad and adapt TWD and fuck every other channel"
LOL I hope "Rectify" will be added to everyone's lists of favorites very soon.
I love it so far.

Every actor on that show appears to either be ridiculously smart and/or attractive.
Loving the show and the clothes and music
Jon Hamm should play James Bond.
I think Peggy is the most beautiful woman in the cast!
Legend has it .Jon Hamm was drinking undistilled vodka out of that glass .
the dam cigs are killing his delightful voice
sad

2020, pandemic, lots of problems in the elections, i think the next decade it's going to be full of big events like the 60's.
ahh season 5 is great, to the future!
Poland loves you guys :D

A once in a life time time piece of a generation . It exposes the human condition and all its frailty and hope for the future.

No. Many of them are either fired or leave because they were rejected. Its the main characters that remain.
Do you think they could have gotten a bigger microphone?
It's kinda fun seeing the way sexy Jon Hamm fiddles & picks with his fingers as Lizzy talks
Wow, Peggy is hot in real life!
@KAAllitt I think it's telling of how good of an actor Hamm is.
There has never been a better more compelling exposition of the irony and hypocracy gauranteed by the unquestioned sexual double standards of the 50s and 60s.
I'm always looking for an interview that explains why Don cheats. Am I wrong for thinking that he loves his wife and is happily married?
Desire to be wanted, since he wasn't even wanted by his own father, then step-mother.
Don is a narcissist. Probably has the narcissistic personality disorder too. Narcissists are known to cheat.
XxMyLameUserNamexX It's a way to express the human condition. We are never satisfied (in fact, Don say this in his diary "When a man walks into a room").
