Mad Men - Season 1-7 [Blu-ray]

Product Information

To that end, Weiner uses Don and Peggy to provide an emotional counterpoint to the soulless practices of Sterling Cooper. Still, ‘Mad Men’ works overwhelmingly well as a remarkably-detailed period drama, a fascinating glimpse into the birth of modern corporate culture, and a tragic study of manipulation and greed.

The digital transfers are also beautifully handled, avoiding any artefacts, edge enhancement or banding to deliver every gorgeously shot episode and recreate the 1960s perfectly. I’m sure anyone listening to the entire collection will find some overlapping information but, by and large, I only encountered a well-rounded, thoughtful examination of each episode.

Lionsgate Home Entertainment has revealed the Blu-ray release of Mad Men: The Final Season, Part 1, which stars Jon Hamm, John Slattery, Elisabeth Moss, January Jones, Vincent Kartheiser, Christina Hendricks, Michael Gladis, Aaron Staton, Rich Sommer, Kiernan Shipka, . The archaic attitudes as to how men and women are expected to behave, and how certain behaviours are deemed acceptable, whether rightly or wrongly, are laugh out loud funny. Once again, this would have been a fantastic feature if the entire soundtrack was included on the disc rather than twenty and thirty second clips. MAD MEN explores glamorous 1960s Madison Avenue and the ego-driven "Golden Age" of advertising, where everyone is selling something and nothing is ever what it seems.

broadcast aspect ratio and encoded in 1080p/24 Full HD using the AVC codec and locked with Region B coding. Season 5 episodes are: 'A Little Kiss: Part One', 'A Little Kiss: Part Two', 'Tea Leaves', 'Mystery Date', 'Signal 30', 'Far Away Places', 'At the Codfish Ball', 'Lady Lazarus', 'Dark Shadows', 'Christmas Waltz', 'The Other Woman', 'Commissions and Fees' and 'The Phantom'. Women are often insatiably dissatisfied and repressed, yet thrive off the pampered, lavish existence of 'being married to a rich guy'. Any true substance is confined to the bonuses - the moving tribute to forgotten freedom fighter Medgar Evers; in full, Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech; the lid off how the tobacco industry promoted a habit increasingly recognized as so harmful; the part advertising played in the 1964 Johnson-Goldwater Presidential campaigns: women seeking a fair deal in the workplace.Adding to her problems, Peggy must deal with the fallout from a short-lived affair with Campbell, an increasingly belligerent group of co-workers, and an unexpected surprise that threatens everything she’s worked so hard to achieve. Despite fine acting, MAD MEN contains few people to like - so many characters shallow, obsessed with the acquisition of wealth. As a result, the show’s plotlines, character development, and central themes generate plenty of unsettling reactions that make it difficult to root for the whole of Sterling Cooper’s greedy and distasteful workforce.
