I rented Mad Men from Netflix and finally sat down to watch it tonight. Now, I have a lot of good reasons to watch this show. Many, many people whose opinion I respect like this show, my intern has been talking about nothing but since she came to work for me, it's award winning, and it even relates to what I'm doing at work right now. (Have I mentioned that I love my job?)
I didn't make it past the first episode. I didn't even FINISH the first episode. I turned on Dexter instead.
I have a feeling that this is going to be Studio 60 all over again. Great show, but I'm just not that into it. Normally, it doesn't take long for a show to capture my attention. In the best cases, it only takes a few minutes. But I wasn't and no matter how much time I give it, I don't think I'm going to be. Since I don't have a problem with spoilers, I went on Wikipedia and it just confirmed my suspicions about the show. All in all, I'd rather watch the show about the serial killer. (Even if I do have to suffer through Lila.)
I will admit there was one bright moment that made me perk up. I like Peggy and I liked her short interaction with Don. ("Do I have to?" "Good point.") It's goood to know that my annoyance towards the end of West Wing was with Zoey and not Elisabeth Moss. I think I would enjoy her storyline. But even watching Peggy's rise to copywriter just isn't enough for me.
So, I'm asking those of you who watched this show, should I give it a second chance or should I just throw in the towel?
