Anachronisms: The Series would be a better title. It seems like the entire thing is an endless overt parade of 60s anachronisms to overwhelm and distract you from the fact that the show isn't very interesting or well written. Once you strip away the smoking, the smoking doctors, the smoking misconceptions, the quaint degradation of women, the shunning of negros, and the "hi tech" rotary phone/electric typewriter/switchboard, it's a show about a guy worried over his job and having an affair. So what? I'm guessing the initial rave buzz was from hipsters ecstatic to see their retro dress style validated, and the television without pity crowd who can't stop creaming themselves over Don Draper, despite him doing nothing but be insecure and mope. |
