What's your take on Mad Men?

I started it around the same time as Breaking Bad, and liked BB waaaaayyyy more, so I never got very far into MM as a result. But I did like it and will start it up again at some point in the near future.

Oh ok that's a long time ago.. 8 years ago?



I suspect as you get older you'd probably enjoy Mad Men a bit more...



Mad Men VS Breaking Bad is an interesting convo to have. While Breaking Bad is more or less about 1 thing, i.e., the transformation of Walter White, Mad Men tries to be a show about 'everything'. It doesn't always pull it off, but when it does it's pretty damn good.

Breaking bad got me hooked one episode in and never lost me once. I loved the show the entire way through. I tried watching the first episode of Mad Men and it was boring so I quit watching. Everyone talked about how great it is so I gave it another chance and I watched through most of the first season and nothing made me want to keep watching so I didn't.

They are targeted at different demographics so obviously not every show's going to (or is aimed to) please everybody.

Yes every show is aimed for different audiences. Frankly neither show was targeting me. Breaking Bad might have been a little but I think they were shooting for a younger crowd like people in their 20s on FX. Mad Men targeted women who seem to be the main people who loved the show. However my opinion regardless of their target demographics is still that Mad Men was boring and hard to care about the characters. Maybe if I stuck it out past the first season or two it would have been great but I dont think a show should require you to watch that much to get hooked. The only show that took a few seasons to get good that was worth sticking out that I have watched is Clone Wars.

Clone Wars >>>>> Mad Men. No doubt.
 
Better Call Saul is amazing. Love every episode. Breaking Bad ended amazingly well enough, but it was rough going early on. I actually stopped watching Breaking Bad for almost two years after season two.

Better Call Saul...love that show.

Agreed... it was rough going at first, I'd say 3/4 of the first season? It just never really got going for me... It was plain sailing after Season 2 though when HEISENGERG made an appearance... LOL
 
Any fans of Rick and Morty? I just started it this week and have been loving it so far.

(It's an animated Sci Fi comedy on adult swim)
