Date: April 14th, 2014 12:38 PM Author: magical alcoholic volcanic crater I watched the first 30 min. the show blows now. too many characters and all the retro stuff isn't charming anymore and just seems forced. Pete showing up all tanned out and wearing tennis shorts was 180 though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2543264&forum_id=2#25381333) |

Date: April 14th, 2014 12:39 PM Author: soggy exciting school cafeteria the Pete part was nice and the end of the episode was nice. that's it. so like 5-10 minutes vs. 40 minutes of BS. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2543264&forum_id=2#25381340) |
Date: April 14th, 2014 12:40 PM Author: Ebony Thriller Menage I turned it on after GoT and just couldn't get into it at all. I'll probably try again at some point this week. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2543264&forum_id=2#25381350) |

Date: April 14th, 2014 12:57 PM Author: Ebony Thriller Menage It's because at its core it's a pretty boring topic. Character driven shows are great and all, but you need something interesting to happen, especially when there are character driven shows coming out where there is also an interesting storyline.

Date: April 14th, 2014 1:15 PM Author: Exhilarant chapel yeah, it was basically Sopranos but with no gun violence. Only so many times you can squeeze drama out of "OMG are we gonna land this client?!??".
Mad Men had great mood and style, good character study, but that can't successfully be drawn out more than 2-3 seasons. Reminds me of Deadwood, which I thought should have stopped after season 2. |
|
Date: April 14th, 2014 1:33 PM Author: soggy exciting school cafeteria disagree that "omg are we gonna land this client" can't be dramatic more than once or twice. there's tons of shit that can happen. i think there's still a lot of business drama that has yet to be played out on popular TV and i think that's a big reason people liked Mad Men originally. it was fun seeing a somewhat realistic business drama. but they've gone away from that mostly.

Date: April 14th, 2014 1:30 PM Author: crystalline mental disorder dragon the average scene time/between cuts had to be under 3 minutes. it was jarring as fuck and boring since nothing got started in 3 minutes they just switched for no reason.
THEN the last 6 minutes they put in enough content for 1/4 of a show.
fuck it. boring as shit. |

Date: April 14th, 2014 1:34 PM Author: soggy exciting school cafeteria it's ridiculous. they only have 7 episodes this "season" too. you would think they wouldn't hold back. it's almost like they are deliberately pacing themselves because they have no plot. how can you have no plot with only 7 episodes. jfc.

Date: April 15th, 2014 1:17 AM Author: boyish dun mad cow disease i keep reading this is the last season. i thought they were going to split the remaining 14 or so episodes among 2 seasons. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2543264&forum_id=2#25385560) |
|
Date: April 15th, 2014 12:30 PM Author: vengeful comical dopamine location They are. As with Breaking Bad, the last "season" is split with 7 episodes in 2014 and 7 episodes in 2015.
So, if we talk like normal people and don't use AMC's stupid titling, they're winding down the series with two, 7-episode seasons. |

I thought the last season was meandering but good. Season 1-2 and 4-5 were good. Season 4 is one of the best seasons of any show IMO. |

Date: April 15th, 2014 1:26 AM Author: boyish dun mad cow disease i've watched every episode up until this point and i'll see it through until the end. i've been sick of the don draper storyline since the middle of season 3. i only watch to follow peggy and joan. and i can NEVER get enough of the retro sets. retro stuff is the only reason i watched the 42 film.

any sopranomos have any insight into how it is progressing? I am ashamed to say I haven't seen sopranos but what were people expecting in its closing episodes? |
