    A sub-Mad Men piece, filled with trite characters and anachronistic dialogue.

Character dialogue never got too witty (people don't talk like that!) like many modern dramas, and it was delivered by a cast that excelled at making that dialogue feel honest. Furthermore, everyone that wasn't background noise had dimension and believability you'd expect from a well-budgeted Masterpiece Theater presentation.

    My only major gripe was that is seemed they wanted each episode to have a plot that could stand on its own while contributing to the overarching story. This never clicked for me; or maybe I'm too institutionalized by this formula being well executed in other series, that I wanted to find it here.    … Full Review »

Funny how all the critics wantLate to the party, but wanted to weigh in on behalf of those getting the chance to bingewatch this on Amazon. Funny how all the critics want to compare it to "Mad Men," which starts out much earlier in time. It does feel like sort of a feminist-Mad Men-media centric period piece, but starting in the seminal year of 1969. For media-savvy baby boomers like me, the cultural touchpoints and soundtrack are irresistible. Altamont, Vietnam, protesters, hippies, weed, women's rights ... there was a lot going on. I liked the cast (and applaud the cosmetics, such as better wigs than most such shows). But many characters were annoyingly cliched. The anachronistic dialogue was annoying as well -- e.g. no one talked moronically about "unpacking" issues back then. Will be fascinated to see whether its fans succeed in bringing it back, especially in light of the sexual harassment aspects that are echoing so loudly right now. There's a scene with the character Jane, touring an art exhibit with a top editor, that's breathtaking in its relevance to media jerks we've read about recently. But at the same time, it shows how much women have advanced since those turbulent times. Recommended for boomers -- and a "possible" for younger folks who are curious about that period.… Full Review »
