I don’t work for an advertising agency. But I work with ad agencies. Not with Sterling Cooper however. Nor with anyone particularly like Don Draper.
A pity. Because it looks like an awful lot of fun there - back in the fictionalised 1960s. If you’re the whiskey swilling big swinging dick ad guy type that is.
Season 2 of Mad Men was every bit as good as the first. It wasn’t able to rely on the aesthetic (or advertising industry history lessons) as much as the first so it had to take us deeper into the characters. We fall in love… or loathe with a number of them this season.
It’s been picked up for a third season which can’t come quick enough for me.
